What do the following lines from Chapter IV of Gulliver's Travels mainly reveal about the Lilliputians? For as to what we have heard you affirm, that there are other kingdoms and states in the world inhabited by human creatures as large as yourself, our philosophers are in much doubt, and would rather conjecture that you dropped from the moon, or one of the stars; because it is certain, that a hundred mortals of your bulk would in a short time destroy all the fruits and cattle of his majesty’s dominions: besides, our histories of six thousand moons make no mention of any other regions than the two great empires of Lilliput and Blefuscu.

Options:

A) They think that he would have an easier time and be better received by the Blefudcudians.

B) They refuse to believe that there are other “giants” like Gulliver because it would be overwhelming to think of what danger any more could pose.

C) They want to align themselves with Gulliver because they think that they will need him to combat other humans who may come to their land.

D) They do not trust Gulliver and believe that he may be plotting against them.

Why does the author's description of the mercury boiler—"the mercury, when vaporized, going into a mercury turbine and then into a condenser, remaining hot enough to generate steam in a steam boiler"—intentionally incorporate such highly technical language? using technical language establishes the expertise of the writer and convey the complex nature of the process being described. using technical language allows the writer to subtly poke fun at those who seek to make basic processes seem overly complicated. using technical language encourages readers to develop deeper and more meaningful personal connections to the information. using technical language lets the writer make clear to readers that the article is intended for readers who are themselves experts on electricity.
