Read the selection below from gulliver’s travels by jonathan swift and answer the question that follows.

the reader may remember, that when i signed those articles upon which i recovered my liberty, there were some which i disliked, upon account of their being too servile; neither could anything but an extreme necessity have forced me to submit. but being now a nardac of the highest rank in that empire, such offices were looked upon as below my dignity, and the emperor (to do him justice), never once mentioned them to me. however, it was not long before i had an opportunity of doing his majesty, at least as i then thought, a most signal service.

the “signal service” mentioned in the passage above was not welcomed by the empress of lilliput. why?

she wishes that gulliver would spend less time with the emperor of lilliput.
she organizes a celebration that gulliver attends even though he is not invited.
she does not appreciate gulliver urinating on her palace to douse the flames.
she does not want gulliver to be an ambassador for lilliput to blefuscu.

Will give if correct read the passage first of all, if someone says your dream is impossible, they’re wrong. you can’t prove that something is impossible-all you know is that [it] hasn’t been done yet. people said no one could scale mount everest, but in 1953, sir edmund hilary and tenzing norgay gazed down upon the world from its summit. people said that man could not fly, but in 1903, orville and wilbur wright made the first sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. people said, “okay, we admit that someone could climb mount everest, and we admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever walk on the face of the moon.” if we can send three men a quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely, is there any great task we cannot accomplish? which identifies the textual evidence that best supports the claim: the authors purpose is to persuade? a: the author shares historical information about the wright brothers. b: the author states that men have walked the moon. c: the author states that others who think your dreams are impossible are wrong. d: the author wants to know what tasks we cannot accomplish.
