Read the sentence from a paper on Gulliver's Travels.
Swift wrote Gulliver's Travels so he could humorously criticize the government.
This statement describes Swift's ANS: Purpose
Read the passage from Of the Wisdom of the Ancients.
This Love is introduced without any parent at all; only, that some say he was an egg of Night.
And himself out of Chaos begot all things, the gods included. The attributes which are assigned
to him are in number four: he is always an infant; he is blind; he is naked; he is an archer. There
was also another Love, the youngest of all the gods, son of Venus, to whom the attributes of the
elder are transferred, and whom in a way they suit.
Bacon's purpose is to explain what ANS: Love is.
Read the passage from Gulliver's Travels.
There was a man born blind, who had several apprentices in his own condition: their
employment was to mix colours for painters, which their master taught them to distinguish by
feeling and smelling. It was indeed my misfortune to find them at that time not very perfect in

Which analysis does the passage support? ANS: Swift uses a false premise to create humor.
Read the two passages from Of the Wisdom of the Ancients.
, Passage 1:

be the appetite or instinct of primal matter; or to speak more plainly, the natural motion of the
atom; which is indeed the original and unique force that constitutes and fashions all things out of
matter.
Passage 2:
Let us now consider his attributes. He is described with great elegance as a little child, and a
child for ever; for things compounded are larger and are affected by age; whereas the primary
seeds of things, or atoms, are minute and remain in perpetual infancy.
How do the two passages work together to develop Bacon's argument? ANS: Passage 1 explains
his central idea, while passage 2 supports it.
Read the sentence from Of the Wisdom of the Ancients.
They say then that Love was the most ancient of all the gods; the most ancient therefore of all
things whatever, except Chaos, which is said to have been coeval with him; and Chaos is never
distinguished by the ancients with divine honour or the name of a god.
