My father had a small estate in Nottinghamshire; I was the third of five sons. He sent me to Emanuel College in Cambridge, at fourteen years old, where I resided three years, and applied myself close to my studies; but the charge of maintaining me, although I had a very scanty allowance, being too great for a narrow fortune, I was bound to apprentice to Mr. James Bates, an eminent surgeon in London, with whom I continued four years, and my father now and then sending me small sums of money, I laid them out in learning navigation, and other parts of the mathematics, useful to those who intend to travel, as I always believed it would be, some time or other, my fortune to do. What would be the best suggestion to give Jonathan Swift to improve the narrator's reliability in the above passage?
O Remove all references to Gulliver's home, family, and youth.
O Remove the reference to "learning navigation, and other parts of the mathematics."
O Explain the background of the statement, "as I always believed it would be, some time or other, my fortune to do."
O Provide more description of Mr. James Bates, both his appearance and personality.
