Complaint Review: BookRags - Internet Select State/Province

That's incredibly steep and had I known I would most definitely NOT have purchased it. 

 

Also, the grammar is VERY bad for a supposedly academic site.  Did English speaking people make up the questions? I haven't read Gulliver's Travels in years and I recently had my daughter read the book. I am home schooling her in addition to working full time and I thought it would help her to have some questions on the reading she just finished and since I haven't read the story in a long while, I thought I'd just get ready-made questions and answers.  In reading the beginning of the questions you have posed, here are some atrocious errors:

England - Gulliver lives in Redriff, a small town in this place. Very bizarre wording.

Mildendo - This place is the capital metropolis of Lilliput, which Gulliver is only privileged occasionally to visit. You don't need to say, "This place..." as the way the sentence is constructed with the dash and the bolded word "Mildendo" it would be obvious that is what you are talking about.

Lindalino - This place is one of the grounded islands below Laputa. Years prior to Gulliver's arrival, the people of this place revolted against the emperor of Laputa to success, bringing new ideas to the government. The words, "to success" in the sentence are very awkwardly placed. No one talks like that. A better way to word this sentence would be: "Years prior to Gulliver's arrival, the people of Lindalino successfully overturned the government."

Luggnagg - This place is the final island in the empire of Laputa that Gulliver visits. It is marked by the Struldbruggs, the immortal beings. Although Gulliver initially reveres this race, he soon learns that it is rather a curse than a blessing. This sentence is very awkward as well.  Try saying this:

Luggnagg - The final island Gulliver visits in the empire of Laputa. This island is inhabited by immortal beings called Struldbruggs. Although Gulliver initially reveres this race, he soon learns to abhor them.    You can't refer to a race as "it" when you are saying "...initially reveres this race, he soon learns that it is rather a curse than a blessing." 

1. What was Gulliver schooled to become? What kind of sentence is that? Weird. It should read something more like: "What did Gulliver attend school for?" or "What education did Gulliver receive?" The word "School" is not usually used as a verb in this manner.

9. While Gulliver is sleeping, they bring in a mechanism that was made specifically to do what to him? Improper use of comma.  You don't need it in this sentence.  Also, "they" should be identified.

12. How do the men ensure that Gulliver will not escape, once he is in the temple? Improper use of comma.  You don't need it here.

18. Which item did the Lilliputian guards find, when they searched Gulliver? No comma needed.  

27. The people that can do what are picked for the best jobs? "What talent do the people have that are picked for the best jobs?" or "What can the people do that are picked for the best jobs?"

39. Why does Gulliver have trouble seeing the inner palace?

(a) There are two many houses between Gulliver and the inner palace.

What?! "There are too many houses, not "two." Unbelievable! Two is the number after one.  

These are just a few initial errors I noticed.
