Answer 1

A, I took the test and got that answer.

Answer 2

Letter A is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

As seen in the picture attached to the question, the excerpt belongs to "The Life of Swift", by Samuel Johnson. Jonathan Swift was an Irish writer, whose major works are Gulliver's Travel and some essays about important topics during his times.

In the excerpt, reader's expectation is disappointed since Swift was not always considered a genius or a relevant figure in literature,and he even got his major by a special favor.
