Read the adapted excerpt from Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift. Soon after, I heard a general shout, with frequent repetitions of the words Peplom selan, and I felt great numbers of people on my left side, relaxing the cords to such a degree that I was able to turn upon my right, and to get a little ease. But, before this, they had daubed my face and both my hands with a sort of ointment very pleasant to the smell, which, in a few minutes, removed all the smart of their arrows. These circumstances, added to the refreshment I had received by their victuals and drink, which were very nourishing, disposed me to sleep. I slept about eight hours, as I was afterwards assured; and it was no wonder, for the physicians, by the emperor's order, had mingled a sleepy potion in the drink.

Which choice best identifies the main idea for a summary of the excerpt?

A. The narrator gets some relief and care by those who had bound him.
B. There are several people untying the cords and bringing food and drink.
C. The narrator is injured and ends up sleeping due to the tonic he drinks.
D. There is a lot of commotion as they all rush to care for the narrator
