Answer:

C. The use of science fiction allows Swift to develop a theme related

to the idea of animals developing human societies.

Explanation:

Science fiction is a type of fiction that tells stories about imagined futuristic or technological advancements that create huge changes in the social and environmental structure.

Jonathan Swift uses science fiction to show how animals develop human societies. <em>Gulliver's Travels </em> are in four parts and in each part, the protagonist Lemuel Gulliver finds himself with strange animals and creatures.

In the first part, he is shipwrecked on the land of extremely small people called Lilliput. In the second part, he finds himself at Brobdingnag where giants reside. In the third part, he is in the flying island of Laputa where the people have one eye pointing inwards and the other pointing outward. Gulliver also visits Glubbdubdrib, the island of sorcerers and from there he speaks with great men from the past who were no more such as Julius Caesar.

In the fourth and final part, he visits  Houyhnhnms where a race of intelligent horses live and <u>ironically they have manged to tame the evil and greedy human race of Yahoos which shows an irony in the relationship between humans and animals.</u>
