English

serious [3.7K]3 years ago
5 0
During his first voyage, Gulliver is washed ashore after a shipwreck and finds himself a prisoner of a race of tiny people, less than 6 inches tall, who are inhabitants of the island country of Lilliput. After giving assurances of his good behaviour, he is given a residence in Lilliput and becomes a favorite of the court. From there, the book follows Gulliver's observations on the Court of Lilliput. He is also given the permission to roam around the city on a condition that he must not harm their subjects. Gulliver assists the Lilliputians to subdue their neighbours, the Blefuscudians, by stealing their fleet. However, he refuses to reduce the island nation of Blefuscu to a province of Lilliput, displeasing the King and the court. Gulliver is charged with treason for, among other "crimes", "making water" in the capital (even though he was putting out a fire and saving countless lives.) He is convicted and sentenced to be blinded, but with the assistance of a kind friend, he escapes to Blefuscu. Here he spots and retrieves an abandoned boat and sails out to be rescued by a passing ship

frutty [35]

Answer:

They were finally done with the packing by 12:50 a.m.

The short story "Packing" by Jerome K. Jerome revolves around three friends and their packing attempts before their trip. The narrator narrates the events that occurred during their best efforts to be ready on time for their trip, infused with numerous disastrous turn-outs and disturbance from his pet dog Montmorency.

Priding himself with being an expert in packing, the narrator began packing for everyone but ended up confusing things. Then, when the other two friends, Harris and George took it upon themselves to pack the rest of the stuff. By the time they could manage to get everything (they believed to be needed) packed, it was already 12:50 a.m.

Angelica had 25.00 she wants to buy a bunny necklace that cost 14.95 and a bunny bracelet that costs 5.89 if Angelica buys items
diamong [38]

Answer:

$4.16

Explanation:

First you add the bunny necklace & bunny bracelet together

14.95 + 5.89 = 20.84

Then you subtract the money Angelica already has ($25) with the money both of the jewelry pieces cost ($20.84).

25.00-20.84=4.16

Therefore, the amount of change Angelica receives will be $4.16.
