Read the selection below from Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift and answer the question that follows. Chapter V, paragraph 1:
“The reader may please to observe that the following extract of the many conversations I had with my master, contains a summary of the most material points, which were discoursed at several times for above two years . . . .” Chapter V, paragraph 3: “He asked me what were the usual causes or motives that made one country go to war with another. I answered, they were innumerable; but I should only mention a few of the chief.” Which of the following suggests that Swift is altering his format to set off information? I. the statement that Gulliver has a master II. the statement that the chapter will be a summary of many conversations III. the statement that English people go to war for many reasons A. I only B. II only C. I and II D. I, II and III
I say this because she has already listed all of her statements so it can’t be A. It isn’t B. Because all of those things were already stated it can’t be C. Because all of those points ride the same wave as her original points.
