Question

Read the selection below from Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift and answer the question that follows. The passages below are from a conversation between Gulliver and the king of Brobdingnag. Gulliver speaks of England: “I then spoke at large upon the constitution of an English Parliament; partly made up of an illustrious body called the House of Peers; persons of the noblest blood, and of the most ancient and ample patrimonies. . . .” King of Brobdingnag speaks of Brobdingnag: “He asked, ‘What methods were used to cultivate the minds and bodies of our young nobility, and in what kind of business they commonly spent the first and teachable part of their lives? What course was taken to supply that assembly when any noble family became extinct?’” Which setting do the passages above indicate? a sunny afternoon a winter day in the House of Peers a comfortable place for discussion the meeting house of the English Parliament

Answer 1

I believe the correct answer is a comfortable place for discussion.
It's not A or B, because there are no indications of the weather in the excerpt, so there is no way to deduce whether it is summer or wintertime. D is also incorrect because Gulliver is only explaining what the English Parliament is, which leaves us with C as the correct answer.
