Read the selection below from Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift and answer the question that follows.
I had, as I before observed, one private pocket, which escaped their search, wherein there was a pair of spectacles
(which I sometimes use for the weakness of my eyes) a pocket perspective, and some other little conveniences;
which, being of no consequence to the emperor, I did not think myself bound in honor to discover, and I apprehended
they might be lost or spoiled if I ventured them out of my possession.
What event is being described in the passage above?
O Gulliver's plan to escape from Lilliput
O preparation for Gulliver's lengthy imprisonment
O Lilliputian inventory of Gulliver and his possessions
O Gulliver's speech about freedom to the Lilliputians
