Read the passage and answer the question that follows. from Gulliver's Travels, by Jonathan Swift, "My gentleness and good behav

iour had gained so far on the emperor and his court, and indeed upon the army and people in general, that I began to conceive hopes of getting my liberty in a short time. I took all possible methods to cultivate this favourable disposition. The natives came, by degrees, to be less apprehensive of any danger from me. I would sometimes lie down, and let five or six of them dance on my hand; and at last the boys and girls would venture to come and play at hide-and-seek in my hair. I had now made a good progress in understanding and speaking the language. The emperor had a mind one day to entertain me with several of the country shows, wherein they exceed all nations I have known, both for dexterity and magnificence. I was diverted with none so much as that of the rope-dancers, performed upon a slender white thread, extended about two feet, and twelve inches from the ground. Upon which I shall desire liberty, with the reader's patience, to enlarge a little."
  Based on the information in this passage, the story's events will most likely focus on

the characteristics of the society visited by the narrator
the narrator's attempts to forcibly break free from the emperor's control
the narrator's efforts to develop a good relationship with the other characters
the entertainments attended by the narrator over time

<span>the narrator's efforts to develop a good relationship with the other characters

Even though he is tied up and being kept as a prisoner, the narrator still is trying to create a good relationship with the people around him. He could treat them poorly as they began treating him, but he chooses to learn to get to know their society and in turn they start becoming more and more comfortable with him as well. Because he spends so much time detailing his attempts to develop a good relationship, the reader can infer that this is what is most important to him. </span>

In literature, the turning point or climax is the point of highest tension in a narrative; it's the most exciting and revealing part of a story. It leads the rising action into the falling action before a story is resolved and reaches the conclusion.
