Question

After three years’ expectation that things would mend, I accepted an advantageous offer from Captain William Prichard, master of the Antelope, who was making a voyage to the South Sea. We set sail from Bristol, May 4, 1699, and our voyage at first was very prosperous.

Which aspect of the travel narrative genre is reflected best in the passage above?

military conquest motive
specific setting

Answer 1

Specific setting

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is: specific setting

In literature, the setting refers to the location where the events take place. It provides the background of the story and encourages to create the atmosphere or mood.

In the passage from Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels," the protagonist details exact names, places and dates: the name of the captain and the ship, what sea they will sail, the name of the city port and the precise date and time of departure.
