The Lilliputians are the first people that Gulliver visits when he begins his travels. The Lilliputians have a system of government in which they do not appoint the most intelligent, or capable, person to a particular job. Instead, they appoint the person who can better perform rope dancing. This rope dancing is dangerous, as the ropes are a foot high (very high for the tiny Lilliputians). This satire exemplifies the way the government of England is not always ruled by clever people either, but only by those who do the most to impress the people in positions of power.

Which statement expresses the theme of the drama fourteen alice
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Thirteen! Why you're correct - thirteen! We can never plunk down with thirteen. That is all because of Mr. Harper's carelessness. Wiped out companion, nothing! He's only one of those thoughtless men who never answer their solicitations in time."

Refer below for the explanation.

Explanation:

As a high-class singular, associations among eminence and the rich are central with regards to keeping up or improving your economic wellbeing inside the more elite class of society.

One of the most widely recognized issues such individuals face while attempting to fabricate and improve the bonds with different individuals from high society emerges with regards to extravagant and costly supper courses of action. Thusly, every fork and blade must be perfect, each plate sparkly spotless and everybody must be situated as needs be.

Mrs. Horace Pringle's supper table fits absolutely fourteen individuals, setting a seat at each end and lines of six seats on each side. On the off chance that those fourteen seats are not appropriately filled, there will be a shock and even the sovereignty they are attempting to dazzle may know about such a humiliating circumstance.
