How tall is the first Lilliputian that Gulliver encounters?

In "Gulliver's Travels," the first Lilliputian that Gulliver encounters is described as being six inches tall. This detail emphasizes the theme of perspective and highlights the stark contrast between Gulliver, a giant compared to the inhabitants of Lilliput, and the tiny people themselves. The specific mention of six inches illustrates the extent of their small size and sets the tone for the novel's exploration of scale and the relativity of power and authority, as Gulliver finds himself in a world where he is seen as a giant despite his normal size in his home country. The other height options do not align with the text, making this option the accurate choice.
