Answer:

C.He is making a point about the ugly side of human nature.

Explanation:

When Gulliver travels to the land of the Houyhnhnms, he encounters a race of intelligent horses. Their society is calm, ordered, peaceful and logical. They appreciate reason above all else. However, their admiration and celebration of reason causes them to suffer from some ugly consequences. The Houyhnhnms lack compassion, and they use the Yahoos in ugly ways. They also show no affection or attachment to their families, and rarely express any feelings. Swift tells us this story to make a point about the ugly side of human nature and present the dangers of a life with no passion.

Explanation:

It was raining hard as Maria walked down the street. She felt cold and wet and was worried about being late.

It was raining<u> cats and dogs</u> as Maria <u>strolled </u>down the street. She <u>could feel the rain droplets as sharp glass pieces hitting her chilled face and numb hands</u> even<u> in the biting cold</u> but <u>what killed her inside</u> was being late at that peculiar time.

The changed sentence has the same meaning as the original sentence but depicts more feelings of the girl both on the outside and the inside.
