Choose the correct option.

In the third part of "Gulliver's Travels", the title character meets the Houyhnhnms. His description of these horses is almost idyllic: "The behaviour of these animals was... orderly and rational… acute and judicious." Indeed, it is a horse that helps him loose from the Yahoos — not by any direct physical action, but by simply appearing on the road and it making the Yahoos run back fright.

Houyhnhnms live simple lives and they wholly themselves to reason. They speak clearly, they act justly, and they have simple laws. Each Houyhnhnm knows what is right and acts accordingly. They are untroubled by greed, politics, or lust. They live a life of cleanliness and exist in peace and serenity. They live by the grand maxim: Cultivate Reason and be totally governed by it. So perfect is their society, in fact, that they have no concept of a lie, and therefore no word to express it. The only word for evil is "Yahoo." Gulliver treats Houyhnhnms by of admiration as absolutely impeccable creatures.
