Rationale: The correct answer is C because the passage suggests that Gulliver is considerably larger than the children playing around him.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Third person omniscient. In the text, the narrator has access to the thoughts and feelings of multiple characters, indicating omniscience. This perspective allows the author to provide insights into various characters' perspectives. The other choices are incorrect because: A (First person) would involve "I" or "we" narration, B (Third person limited) would focus on one character's thoughts, and D (Objective) would present only observable actions without access to characters' internal thoughts.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the passage focuses on the significance of insects in ecosystems, highlighting their role in pollination, decomposition, and food chains. It does not primarily discuss insects transitioning from water to air (A), or how insects adapt to their environment (B). The passage also does not specifically address the duality of insect life (D), making it an incorrect choice.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the purpose of the second passage is to inform the reader about what assault is and how it is committed. This can be inferred from the content of the passage which describes the nature and characteristics of assault without discussing lethal force. Choice B is incorrect because the second passage does not mention assault being a minor example of lethal force. Choice C is incorrect as there is no evidence of the second passage aiming to disprove the previous passage. Choice D is incorrect because the second passage does not argue that the use of assault is more common than the use of lethal force; it simply focuses on explaining assault itself.
