    Jonathan Swift publishes Gulliver’s Travels anonymously in 17The four-part novel relates ship captain Lemuel Gulliver’s voyages to fanciful countries such as Lilliput and Brobdingnag, where he meets both tiny and giant inhabitants.
     The work’s satirical attacks on English politicians and social practices, as well as its coarse descriptions of bodily functions, provoke much comment and controversy among the reading public. Even the first publisher of the book fears that it is too critical of English society and expurgates the text slightly, over Swift’s objections.
     Although Swift intends the book for an adult audience, Gulliver’s Travels’ imaginative storyline and clear writing help make the book a children’s classic, generally in abridged editions.
Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels was so critical of English society that the publisher
选项 A、changed some part of the book not with his consent.
B、deleted some part of the book without his consent.
C、took some part out of the book even if he objected.
D、altered some part of the book even with his objection.
答案C
解析 根据提问，应该注意相关的部分和相关的词语。单词expurgate：make the book pure by taking out anything which is considered improper删除；修订；使纯洁。所以，不是改变，而是删除。另外，删除是遭到了反对而不是不同意：over Swifi’s objections。
