every fourth year, at the vernal equinox, there is a representative council of the whole nation, which meets in a plain about twenty miles from our house, and continues about five or six days. . one of these grand assemblies was held in my time, about three months before my departure, whither my master went as the representative of our district . . the question to be debated was, whether the yahoos should be exterminated from the face of the earth. what is the dominant irony presented in the passage above? that the narrator (gulliver) is able to live in houyhnhnm land during one of the “grand assemblies” that the houyhnhnms and the yahoos, who dislike each other, still live together in the same country that “representative councils” are only held every four years in the spring that the houyhnhnms, the most rational beings on earth, are discussing the extermination of an entire group of creatures

Refer to explorations in literature for a complete version of the text. in “letter from birmingham jail,” martin luther king, jr., presents the idea that american history includes african americans, too; that is, african americans can claim the same historical heritage as white americans. at the time, this was a radical idea. how does king develop this theme? select each correct answer. he points out the many ways that african americans have contributed to the culture of america. he describes how african americans were present “before plymouth rock” and through many key moments in american history. he argues that african americans would have participated in more events of american history if white americans had been willing to include them. he makes connections between the american fight for independence from britain and the civil rights movement.
