When selecting a person for a job, what do Lilliputians consider more important than ability?

English

faust18 [17]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Why would an author choose to employ a flashback to interrupt the chronological order of a narrative?
NISA [10]
While all the answers have a degree of validity, option C is the most correct one. Flashbacks are essentially a narrative technique that allows the author to break the usual monotony of storytelling by jumping back and forth between events and turning a linear story (from point A to point B) into a circular one (from point B to point C through point A, for instance).

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP 20 BRAINLY POINTS
Nata [24]
The most accurate answer for this would most likely be answer choice A.

Not only does that answer have words directly from the excerpt to support it, but the cottage is described as being a pleasant and homey space that everyone can gather in. With the words “lived in,” it shows that the cottage is happy and lively.

I hope this helps! :)
