Answer:
A). They realized that they would be safer with him as an ally than as an enemy.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the context of Jonathan Swift's 'Gulliver's Travels,' the key reason for which the Lilliputians made tremendous efforts to feed Gulliver and moved him to the capital city was that 'they felt that it was better to befriend him and establish ally with him instead of displaying animosity with him.' Gulliver was giant in size in comparison to the tiny Lilliputians that the latter seemed like ants to him. He was so huge that he could crush them with just a blow of his mouth and therefore, Lilliputians felt that it would be safer to make friends with him in order to protect themselves. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
