Which word or words from the passage above illustrates original diction? I. “Floating Island” II. corruption III. “Lapuntah” III only I and II I, II, and III II and III

Original diction refers to words or phrases that do not necessarily exist in real languages, but are rather created by a particular author for a particular piece of literature. Having this in mind, the correct answer here is III "Lapuntah," given that it is a word that Swift made up for his "Gulliver's Travels."
