Read the adapted excerpt from Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift.
"But I should have mentioned that before the principal person began his oration, he cried out three times, Langro debul san (these words,
and the former, were afterwards repeated, and explained to me). Whereupon Immediately about fifty of the inhabitants came and cut the
strings that fastened the left side of my head, which gave me the liberty of turning it to the right, and of observing the person and gesture of
him that was to speak. He appeared to be of a middle age, and taller than any of the other three who attended him, whereof one was a
page that held up his train, and seemed to be somewhat longer than my middle finger, the other two stood one on each side, to support
him. He acted every part of an orator, and I could observe many periods of threatenings, and others of promises, pity, and kindness."

The skunk (also known as the polecat) is most commonly known for their ability to secrete a foul, strong smelling odor from their rear end, when the skunk feels that it is under threat.

There are 11 known species of skunk in the world, with most of these skunk species inhabiting the American continent. Two of these skunk species are found in Indonesia and the Philippines. The color of the skunk can vary from the typical black and white to grey, cream and even brown. However, all skunks are striped and baby skunks are even born with their striped markings regardless of their color.

The average skunk is between 40 and 70 cm in height and weighs about the same as a domestic cat. The skunk hunts insects, small birds and mammals. Skunks also commonly eat berries, roots, grasses and fungi in order to supplement their diet.

Baby skunks are born completely toothless and blind, with the eyes of the baby skunk not opening until the skunk is a few weeks old. The baby skunks are also unable to use their defensive spray when they are first born. The skunks spraying ability develops just before it’s eyes open when the skunk is a couple of weeks old.

Skunks are generally solitary animals and only really come together to breed. In colder regions however, skunks have been known to inhabit communal burrows in order to try to keep each other warm. Most skunks hide in burrows during the day which the skunk digs out with its long front claws.

Although skunks have excellent smell and hearing, skunks are known to have very poor vision and can only see objects that are right in front of them. With the introduction of cars, numerous skunks have been killed on the roads as the skunks cannot see the cars coming towards them until it is too late.

Female skunks usually give birth to their babies in the hotter month of May after a gestation period of a couple of months. The female skunk gigs out a burrow in which to give birth to her skunk babies (kits) and the baby skunks will usually stay with their mother until they are about a year old and are old enough to mate themselves.

Augustin de Iturbide was able to declare independence from Spain while also proclaiming himself emperor in part
because

A.he came from a family of peninsulares.
B. he had started the independence movement.
C.that was the type of government the Spanish colonists were used to.
D.he deserved the title after his leadership in the battle for independence.

Answers

In addition to declaring himself emperor, Augustin de Iturbide was able to separate from Spain because "that was the type of government the Spanish colonists were used to." Hence, option (C) is the correct answer.

How did Spain got separated?

Costa Rica started creating its own system of self-government in 1821 after learning that Guatemala had declared its independence from Spain.

Agustin de Iturbide, the self-declared ruler of Mexico, issued a note asking for his empire's quick takeover throughout this process.

The inhabitants of the more conservative cities Cartago and Heredia supported the occupation, but Alajuela's more progressive residents viewed de Iturbide's proposal as imperialist and wished for freedom.

A politician and general from Mexico, Augustin de Iturbide chose to head the Creole independence campaign. Iturbide forced his ascent to the role of Mexico's first emperor after securing the country's independence. He held this post for about a year until being overthrown.
