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.

Answer:

The statement that best describes the excerpt is:

3- Most of the sentences have a similar structure.

Explanation:

The first two sentences may seem longer, having more elements. But from the third sentence on, what we have are simple clauses, independent sentences. The structure is so similar that Paine was able to omit the verb "to be" from the fourth sentence on, since it had been mentioned in the previous sentence, and the other are somehow a continuation of that same idea. Therefore, we can safely say that most of the sentences have a similar structure.

strojnjashka [21]
The correct answer is that these lines talk about the immortality of art.

Ode on a Grecian Urn by John Keats is often interpreted as the celebration of art and its immortality. The figures depicted on the urn have passed long before the narrator examines the urn on which their lives were depicted. Even though they perished their story has been preserved on the urn, and in a sense they have become immortal through the art, which is that which remains long after we are gone.
