The author used parallel ideas in the passages presented to highlight the differences.

Explanation:

As you can see in the question above, Gulliver and the king of Brobdingnag have parallel ideas about setting up a parliament with noble, intellectual and learned people.

While Guliver claims that noble people are automatically wiser and more intellectual because they had full access to education, the king of Brobdingnag would like to know how these people got so wise, what courses they took, how they managed to reach that high degree of intellectuality.

In this we can see that the author wished to highlight the parallel ideas of the two characters to evidence the differences between them.
