Read the excerpt from The Canterbury Tales.

English
1 answer:
Brums [2.3K]2 years ago
3 0

The statement that best describes the satire in the excerpt is:

  • Chaucer criticizes the notion that divine forgiveness depends on giving money.

<h3>What is satire?</h3>

Satire is the act of criticizing a bad situation or event using humorous lines of reasoning. This is exactly what Chaucer accomplishes in this excerpt.

He criticized the materialistic aspect of religion where many thought that God was impressed by their financial donations and would thus overlook their sins. In a humorous manner, Chaucer tells the people to come with their gold and have their sins forgiven.

Read the dialogue from Act II, scene iv of Romeo and Juliet.
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is “jest,” because this is a teasing conversation .

Explanation:

In this scene there is a pleasant and joking atmosphere between Romeo, Mercutio and Benvolio.

They are joking and Romeo accuses Mercutio that he is only good to joke, and he tells him that for that joke he is going to bite him in the ear (since he was comparing him to a goose).

Even Mercutio acknowledges that joking is better than being bad for love. Let's see this quote:

<em>"Why, is not this better now than groaning for love? Now art thou sociable. Now art thou Romeo."</em>
