What do the following lines from Chapter IV of Gulliver's Travels mainly reveal about the Lilliputians? For as to what we have heard you affirm, that there are other kingdoms and states in the world inhabited by human creatures as large as yourself, our philosophers are in much doubt, and would rather conjecture that you dropped from the moon, or one of the stars; because it is certain, that a hundred mortals of your bulk would in a short time destroy all the fruits and cattle of his majesty’s dominions: besides, our histories of six thousand moons make no mention of any other regions than the two great empires of Lilliput and Blefuscu.

Options:

A) They think that he would have an easier time and be better received by the Blefudcudians.

B) They refuse to believe that there are other “giants” like Gulliver because it would be overwhelming to think of what danger any more could pose.

C) They want to align themselves with Gulliver because they think that they will need him to combat other humans who may come to their land.

D) They do not trust Gulliver and believe that he may be plotting against them.
