Step-by-step explanation:

The king of Brobdingnag in Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels voices Swift's criticism of contemporary professional men by highlighting their greed, corruption, and the negative impacts these vices have on society. The passages provided reflect various authors' criticisms of societal figures and issues, such as the misuse of money, the exploitation of the working class, and the need for authenticity and moral integrity.

Answer 2

The king of Brobdingnag voices Swift's criticism of contemporary professional men by saying that : " My little Friend Grildrig, I cannot but conclude the Bulk of your Natives, to be the most pernicious Race of little odious Vermin that Nature ever suffered to crawl upon the Surface of the Earth. This famous judgment by the king of Brobdingnag on the people of England, given in Part II, Chapter VI, after Gulliver (or “Grildrig”) has summarized the institutions of his native land, is a harsh denunciation of mankind in its current state, and it stokes the misanthropy that dominates Gulliver’s mind by the end of Gulliver’s Travels."
