My father had a small estate in Nottinghamshire; I was the third of five sons. He sent me to Emanuel College in
Cambridge, at fourteen years old, where I resided three years, and applied myself close to my studies; but the charge
of maintaining me, although I had a very scanty allowance, being too great for a narrow fortune, I was bound to
apprentice to Mr. James Bates, an eminent surgeon in London, with whom I continued four years; and my father now
and then sending me small sums of money, I laid them out in learning navigation, and other parts of the mathematics,
useful to those who intend to travel, as I always believed it would be, some time or other, my fortune to do.
What would be the best suggestion to give Jonathan Swift to improve the narrator's reliability in the above passage?
O Remove all references to Gulliver's home, family, and youth.
Remove the reference to learning navigation, and other parts of the mathematics."
O Explain the background of the statement, "as I always believed it would be, some time or other, my fortune to do."
Provide more description of Mr. James Bates, both his appearance and personality.

Most ethnic groups of central Mexico in the post-classic period shared basic cultural traits of Mesoamerica, and so many of the traits that characterize Aztec culture cannot be said to be exclusive to the Aztecs. For the same reason, the notion of "Aztec civilization" is best understood as a particular horizon of a general Mesoamerican civilization.[4] The culture of central Mexico includes maizecultivation, the social division between nobility (pipiltin) and commoners (macehualtin), a pantheon (featuring Tezcatlipoca, Tlaloc and Quetzalcoatl), and the calendric system of a xiuhpohualli of 365 days intercalated with a tonalpohualli of 260 days. Particular to the Mexica of Tenochtitlan was the patron God Huitzilopochtli, twin pyramids, and the ceramic ware known as Aztec I to IV.[5]
From the 13th century, the Valley of Mexicowas the heart of dense population and the rise of city-states. The Mexica were late-comers to the Valley of Mexico, and founded the city-state of Tenochtitlan on unpromising islets in Lake Texcoco, later becoming the dominant power of the Aztec Triple Alliance or Aztec Empire. It was a tributary empire that expanded its political hegemony far beyond the Valley of Mexico, conquering other city states throughout Mesoamerica in the late post-classic period. It originated in 1427 as an alliance between the city-states Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, and Tlacopan; these allied to defeat the Tepanec state of Azcapotzalco, which had previously dominated the Basin of Mexico. Soon Texcoco and Tlacopan were relegated to junior partnership in the alliance, with Tenochtitlan the dominant power. The empire extended its reach by a combination of trade and military conquest. It was never a true territorial empire controlling a territory by large military garrisons in conquered provinces, but rather dominated its client city-states primarily by installing friendly rulers in conquered territories, by constructing marriage alliances between the ruling dynasties, and by extending an imperial ideology to its client city-states.[6] Client city-states paid tribute to the Aztec emperor, the Huey Tlatoani, in an economic strategy limiting communication and trade between outlying polities, making them dependent on the imperial center for the acquisition of luxury goods.[7] The political clout of the empire reached far south into Mesoamerica conquering polities as far south as Chiapasand Guatemala and spanning Mesoamerica from the Pacific to the Atlantic oceans.created a vast system of coastal and mountain roads to link its empire
