The poetic device the speaker is using is allusion it this line. Option A is correct.

Allusion is a figure of speech that refers to a well-known story, event, person, or object in an attempt to make a comparison in the readers' minds. According to that definition, Bacchus, Satan, and the Hangman aren't actually characters in this literary piece of work, but the author is making a reference to them nevertheless.

what can you infer about gulliver's relationship with the lilliputians based on the way he walks around their city?
Simora [160]

Answer:

I can infer that he was a little nervous to be in a foreign land. Specially, the lilliputians were so tiny and the whole city was done to the Lilliputians' measure and Gulliver was really tall and big to fit inside this city. The houses were too small, the city was designed to small people and Gulliver did not represent that kind of people. They saw Gulliver as an enemy who was going to finish with their small city. The Lilliputians tied Gulliver up to avoid he escaped from there. After The Lilliputians trusted on Gulliver he walked carefully inside the city to avoid breaking elements inside the city. It meant that The Lilliputians started to trust on Gulliver.

Besides that, Gulliver has to deal with the internal war divided in two parties. He had to listen to both postures about the city from the different movements the Lilliput and Blefuscu.

Explanation:

When Gulliver could talk to the Lilliputians, he stared to talk and admire the way they constructed and the ability they had to construct mechanical elements. The Lilliputians were admired that a foreign person felt nice with their constructions and for this reason they let Gulliver walked inside the city.
