Answer 1

1)The words from the passage above which indicate best that the passage has been written to engage the reader are D. “Waking,” “ambled,” and “gather”. You have to weigh up the semantic load of each option and you will see that option D contains semantic sequence which brings an image to a reader, you can understand the action of event by the keywords as it has the verb, part of relative clause and an adjective. 2) The reason which an author would most likely have for using description in a literary work is B. I and III. Basically, description is an essential point of every literary work as authors represents an event or character in detailed and particular way. That makes reader understand the mood of a story. Obviously, most of description contain author’s opinion about it as he represents things in the way he understands them. 3) The satirical element which is most dominant in the passage above is B.innuendo. Innuendo is a form of satire that mostly has a shape of criticism and reflects negative, disparaging or salacious tone. As you can see, the character that tells about his wife totally neglects her, and the tone of passage is derogatory. 4) The information about the Luggnaggians which the narrator (Gulliver) provides to his audience (English people) is B.their traditional customs. At some point of the story, Gulliver gives his opinion towards points of views of Luggnaggians by describing it in order to make his audience learn the possible mistakes of others and not to repeat them. 5) The phrase which defines “understatement” best is B.the presentation of something as less significant than it is. As a matter of fact, understatement is a figure of speech which authors use to make reader think that some things are less important that they actually are. It is actually a key to further unexpected twist, but it is well-hidden, so a reader will be surprised as he read a story. 6) The way how the passage above reflects the typical plot that appears in travel narratives is A. A quick summary of the history of an event is a common plot element of travel narratives. An author usually includes many events summed-up, as travel narratives contain many stories and they shouldn’t heap up a reader.
