Explanation:
Answer:
In this book, "The "Country of the Blind", Wells tries to justify, that contrary to the popular saying - a one-eyed man is king in the country of the blind; only blind men can lead blind men.
The inference to be drawn is this: the rationality of the human mind and its ability to understand the world or its environment is limited to its senses. The ability of humans to grasp a higher truth is further limited by the type of conditioning that happens to it over time. In other words, time has a way of shaping us intellectually regardless of what new information, new perspectives or paradigms that have crop up.
Explanation:
The blind men had over 14 generations, come to accept their reality as The Reality. They had created a way of life (which suited them) around this alternate reality in which they could not see, but compensated for it with enhanced hearing, increased sense of smell and touch.
Because a man who had complete vision could not relate to what it felt like to have these "enhanced" abilities, Nunez's attempt to explain his world to them and justify its superiority over what they perceive proved abortive.

Hello. This question is about "Modest Proposal"
Answer:
hunger, clothing, money/economy, overpopulation.
Explanation:
The modest Proposal was a text written by Jonathan Swift as a proposal to end the growing number of poor children on the streets begging or getting involved in activities they shouldn't have.
Swift claimed that the rich and politicians were very uncomfortable with this scenario, but did nothing to control poverty and help these children. So he proposed that a way to end this problem and thus decrease hunger, clothing, money / economy and overpopulation, would be for the poor to sell their children to the rich so that they could serve as food for the rich and their skins to make clothes.
Swift wrote this essay in a satirical way to show how the hypocrisy of the rich stimulated social problems and their hypocrisy would have to solve those problems.
Answer:
Nehemiah.
Explanation:
In the book of Nehemiah chapter 1 verse 11, he said that he is ''cupbearer to the king''. Nehemiah had previously been a prisoner of King Artaxerxes when they conquered Jerusalem. But during the 20th year of King Artaxerxes's reign, Nehemiah was made the cup-bearer to the king. Cup- bearers or wine- bearers are those trusted aides of the kings who will take care of the king's drinks, even taste it so to prove that it isn't poisoned.
When he learned of the distress of the remaining Jewish people in Judah, he asked the king for help, to send him to help his people. The King accepted his request, making him Governor of Judah. He provided him with all provisions needed for the trip as well as the rebuilding of the land of Judah for the Jews, even giving authorial letter explaining his support for this venture and the permission to get timber from the King's forest. Thus, the city of Jerusalem was rebuilt under King Artaxerxes's support through Nehemiah.
