The word, which I interpret the Flying or Floating Island, is in the original Laputa, whereof I could never learn the true etymology. Lap, in the old obsolete language, signifies high; and untuh, a governor; from which they say, by corruption, was derived Laputa from Lapuntah.

Which word or words from the passage above illustrates original diction?

I. “Floating Island”

II. corruption

III. “Lapuntah”

III only
I and II
I, II, and III
II and III
