Swift uses which device in his tale of gulliver's journey to the land of the Lilliputians

Answer: 1. Caricature

Explanation:

Caricature is a device in which certain features of a subject are either simplified or exaggerated, in order to create a comic effect. A caricature can refer both to the character's physical appearance or a certain personality trait.

In Swift's Gulliver's Travels (1726), a story about a surgeon (Lemuel Gulliver) who travels to the South Seas, the writer uses caricature in his account of the Lilliputians in the first part of the story. For instance, Lilliputians are divided into two political groups: high-heeled shoes and low-heeled shoes. This is an allusion to their physical appearance, because they are extremely small and short.
