"[i]f his majesty, in consideration of your services, and pursuant to his own merciful disposition, would to spare your life, and only give orders to put out both your eyes, he humbly conceived that, by this expedient, just might in some measure be satisfied, and all the world applaud the lenity of the emperor, as well as the fair and generous proceedings of those who have the honor to be his counselors. . " what would be the best suggestion to give to jonathan swift for improving the symbolism of sight in the passage? add three long sentences into the middle of the passage. explain the background of the statement, “in consideration of your services.” include more words like “eyesight,” “see,” “view,” or “gaze.” describe the personality and appearance of the counselors.

The correct answer is C.

By adding words relating to sight, like "see", "view" and "gaze", the author can create a more vivid symbolism of what the sense of sight means in this passage.

When it talks about putting out both of the listener's eyes, Jonathan Swift could add details including this type of words to add to the imagery of sight.

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.
