Answer: A. Because they contained controversial political views.
Explanation:
Jonathan Swift (1667 – 1745) was a famous Anglo-Irish writer and satirist. At the time he wrote, however, his satires were published anonymously.
As both<em> "Gulliver's Travels" </em>and<em> "A Modest Proposal" </em>contained controversial political views, Swift wanted to protect himself from being attacked by the authorities. In the first book, he criticizes the English society and its leaders, while the latter is essentially a satire that points out the differences between the rich in England and the poor in Ireland. Swift even ironically proposes selling children as meat as a solution to poverty, which was an idea criticized by many.
Answer:
B). "He found that children and adults who have read stories their whole lives were more likely to correctly identify the feelings and thoughts of others than those who do not read regularly."
C). "Trying to understand these characters exercises the same mental muscle that helps us understand people in the real world."
Explanation:
The above two evidence factually support and substantiate the claim that 'people who read stories are better at communicating and understanding the feelings of others.'
The first evidence i.e. option B states that <u>the research revealed 'the children or adults who have been reading stories constantly their whole lives are able to recognize the thoughts or feelings of others more accurately' while the second evidence i.e. option C asserts logically that 'in attempt to understand the characters of stories, the same mental muscle is required for understanding people in real life.'</u>
Thus, these two pieces of evidence not only support but substantiates how reading comprehends our understanding of thoughts, opinions, or feelings of others. Hence, <u>options B and C</u> are the correct answers.
