swift expresses his opinion of the silliness of religious conflict in his era by comparing it to
a. riots in the street over the size of people's heels.
b. a giant in a land of tiny figures.
c. arguments and edicts over which end of an egg to break.
d. an imaginary newspaper in which silly opinions are expressed.

C. Arguments and edicts over which end of an egg to break.

Explanation:

Swift was a conservative clergyman who played the role of defender of the church. He sought stability in religion but with personal freedom. He felt that religion, politics, and morality are inseparable. He himself belonged to the social class of the Anglican church as he had been brought up with respect to it. However, he made theological attempts to attack and restrain orthodoxy that contradicts his previous defense yet defended church always. Thus, he presents the divisive and conflicting religious views in his era as silly and compares it to an egg to break.
