Answer:

The Lilliputian official's description of Blefuscu as "the other great empire of the universe" suggests:

b. Britain sees itself and France as rival superpowers.

Explanation:

We can easily break the quote down: <u>To the official, there are only two great empires. One of them is Lilliput, the other one is Blefuscu. Since Lilliput represents Britain, we can see how the author, Jonathan Swift, is using this quote to criticize Britain's narrow view of the world. They do not think of other countries as great. And the only other country whose greatness they acknowledge is precisely the one they consider their enemy. To Britain, France is its rival in being the world's superpower.</u> Of course, since it could not be different, Lilliput and Blefuscu are enemies in the story.

The novel "Gulliver's Travels" is a satire of society written by Jonathan Swift. By describing the fictitious countries and societies where Gulliver ends up during his voyages, the author criticizes human nature and its nitpicking.

Exercise 1 Use the spelling rules in this lesson to spell the words indicated.<br> critical + -ly
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The correct spelling of critical+ly is <em>critically</em>.

<em>Critically</em> is an adverb formed by the root adjective <em>critical</em> and the suffix -ly.

In general, to form adverbs from an adjective we add the suffix -ly after the adjectives' last syllable.

Adjectives that end with one L keep it when adding the suffix -ly.

This is the case of the adverb <em>critically</em>.

Other examples are:

  • Typical⇒ typically
  • radical ⇒radically
  • practical ⇒practically
  • cool ⇒ coolly

If the adjective ends with double L, we drop one before adding the suffix:

  • chill⇒ chilly
  • full⇒ fully

You can learn more about suffix -ly in the link below:
