Select the correct answer. Read the adapted excerpt from Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift.
The basin was so small that I walked near a mile before I got to the shore, which I conjectured was about eight o'clock in the evening. I then
advanced forward near half a mile, but could not discover any sign of houses or inhabitants, at least, I was in so weak a condition, that I did
not observe them. I was extremely tired, and with that, and the heat of the weather, I found myself much inclined to sleep. I lay down on the
grass, which was very short and soft, where I slept sounder than ever I remembered to have done in my life, and, as I reckoned, for about
nine hours; for, when I awaked, it was just daylight. I attempted to rise, but was not able to stir: for as I happened to lle on my back, I found
my arms and legs were strongly fastened on each side to the ground; and my hair, which was long and thick, tied down in the same
manner. I likewise felt several slender ligatures across my body, from my arm-pits to my thighs. I could only look upwards, the sun began to
grow hot, and the light offended my eyes.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

in this passage from chapter 6 of "animal farm", by george orwell, what the author is ridiculing in this passage is the frivolity of some rules.

clover, the mare, believes she remembers that the fourth commandment forbade sleeping in beds because it was something that humans did. snowball, napoleon, and the pigs are brain-workers who look after the welfare of the farm. they are the obvious leaders because they are smart, and so they are entitled to eat the best food and sleep in beds. it is squealer, who says these lines making the difference between sleeping with sheets, what humans do, and sleeping in beds, what pigs do. the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking.
