Which quote from gulliver’s travels most accurately demonstrates how author jonathan swift develops the relationship between gulliver and the emperor?

gulliver’s travels

(a) “by which the reader may conceive an idea of the ingenuity of that people, as well as the prudent and exact economy of so great a prince.”
swift uses sarcasm and a mocking tone to emphasize that gulliver finds the actions and decisions made by the emperor to be illogical and absurd.

(b) “i was assured that, a year or two before my arrival, flimnap would infallibly have broken his neck, if one of the king’s cushions, that accidentally lay on the ground, had not weakened the force of his fall.”
swift uses a flashback to prove that gulliver sees the emperor’s actions as cruel and ruthless, as he intentionally injures his people.

(c) “the horse that fell was strained in the left shoulder, but the rider got no hurt; and i repaired my handkerchief as well as i could: however, i would not trust to the strength of it any more, in such dangerous enterprises.”
swift uses overstatement to express that gulliver thinks the emperor exaggerates the danger of the entertainment.

(d) “i swore and subscribed to these articles with great cheerfulness and content, although some of them were not so honorable as i could have wished.”
swift uses a paradox to expose that although gulliver acts in a pleasant manner, he actually feels disdain for the emperor’s secret plans.
