Select the correct answer.
Read the adapted excerpt from Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift.
But I should have mentioned that before the principal person began his oration, he cried out three times, Langro debul san (these words,
and the former, were afterwards repeated, and explained to me). Whereupon immediately about fifty of the inhabitants came and cut the
strings that fastened the left side of my head, which gave me the liberty of turning it to the right, and of observing the person and gesture of
him that was to speak. He appeared to be of a middle age, and taller than any of the other three who attended him, whereof one was a
page that held up his train, and seemed to be somewhat longer than my middle finger; the other two stood one on each side, to support
him. He acted every part of an orator, and I could observe many periods of threatenings, and others of promises, pity, and kindness.
Which choice provides the best objective summary of the excerpt?
OA. The narrator is bound but an orator comes out and orders his ties to be cut. This orator seems to be the leader as he is
dressed formally and has others to support him. All follow his commands.
OB. The narrator is very confused as he is tied and cannot move, the inhabitants are speaking a language he does not understand,
and now an orator is both threatening him and showing pity.
OC. The narrator is tied down and cannot move until a leader orders his ties be cut. This leader, whom the narrator cannot
understand, seems to show a variety of different moods.
OD The narrator, tied down, watches as a leader of the group orders his ties to be cut so that he can turn his head. This leader
seems to issue threats but also shows kindness.
