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.

You must answer this question. You received an email from your new friend, Leela who has just enrolled in your school.
devlian [24]

Hello Leela!

I hope you are doing fine. It's a great idea to go to the beach with our schoolmates during the weekend.

We should go to Santa Barbara Beach. It is near us, and it is a very cool place. If we are planning on spending our day there, we should bring food, what about some sandwiches?. Also, we have to ask our schoolmates to bring a volleyball ball and a frisbee to have some good fun!

Can wait for the weekend!

See you.

Susan.

When writing an email to a friend:

  1. Greet the person in an informal style. For example, hello, hi, or hello (friend's name). Exclamation marks are allowed and make the letter more friendly and casual.
  2. Ask the reader how they are and give a short answer to the email. In this case, the short answer is, "It's a great idea to go to the beach with our schoolmates during the weekend."
  3. Answer the email questions (which beach and what to bring)
  4. Write a closure sentence expressing how you feel.
  5. Sign the letter.

To sum up, when we write an email to a friend, we should use a friendly and informal style. As regards the organization, first greet the friend, then make a brief introduction, next proceed to answer the questions in the body of the letter, and lastly, sign the email.
