I found myself much inclined to sleep. I lay down on the grass, which was very short and soft, where I slept sounder than ever I remembered to have done in my life, I attempted to rise, but was not able to stir: for, as I happened to lie on my back, I found my arms and legs were strongly fastened on each side to the ground; and my hair, which was long and thick, tied down in the same manner. when, bending my eyes downwards as much as I could, I perceived it to be a human creature not six inches high, I had sent so many memorials and petitions for my liberty, that his majesty at length mentioned the matter, first in the cabinet, and then in a full council; where it was opposed by none, except Skyresh Bolgolam, who was pleased, without any provocation, to be my mortal enemy. He began with compliments on my liberty; said “he might pretend to some merit in it;” but, however, added, “that if it had not been for the present situation of things at court, perhaps I might not have obtained it so soon.

Do you have any multiple choice options?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I found myself much inclined to sleep... I attempted to rise... when, bending my eyes downwards... I had sent so many memorials and petitions... He began with compliments...

OpenStudy (ashlynxo):

I think 'I attempted to rise' and 'I had sent so many memorials and petitions' may be the correct answer. It's what I'd choose, so. Good luck!
