Read the following text carefully and answer the questions 5, 6 and 7.

Jonathan Swift was born of English parents in Dublin in 1667. He was educated at Kilkenny Grammar School and Trinity College, Dublin. Between 1689 and 1699, he was more or less continuously a member of the household of his kinsman Sir William Temple, a civilized man. During these years, Swift read widely. About 1696-97, he wrote his powerful satire on corruptions in religion and learning, which were published in 1704 and reached their final form only in the fifth edition of 1710. Temple's death in 1699 left Swift without resources. In 1701, he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Dublin University. In March, 1726, he paid his first visit to England since 1714, bringing with him the manuscript which
he began in 1721. Swift, who is one of the greatest writers of prose, died in 1745.
