<h3>What is a preposition?</h3>

A preposition can be a word—usually a simple and frequent word that conveys direction like 'to' in "a letter to you," location like 'at' in "at the door," or time like 'by' in "by noon," and that introduces an accompanying object like 'of' in "a basket of apples." Prepositions are followed by an association object, which could be a noun (noon), a phrase (the door), or a closed-class word (you).

<h3>Some examples of prepositions</h3>

The most frequently used prepositions are at, by, for, from, in, of, on, to, and with. Concerning, above, across, after, against, along, among, around, because of, before, behind, below, beneath, beside, between, close to, down, during, except, inside, instead of, into, like, near, off are other common prepositions.

Answer:

1. the acceptance of the church's authority

2. The Pardoner’s disregard for the poor reveals the Church’s hypocrisy

Explanation:

1. The feature of medieval life reflected here is the acceptance of the church's authority.

The Canterbury Tales has about 24 stories with about 17,000 lines. The work was written by Geoffrey Chaucer Geoffrey around a period of 1387 and 1400.

The Canterbury Tales is medieval literature and has great poetic power and entertainment value. The tales gives insight into the different social classes of that century, including their clothes, languages and the recreational activities of the time.

2. Based on the excerpt taken from this book, I can say that the statement that describes the satire here is The Pardoner’s disregard for the poor reveals the Church’s hypocrisy.

Chaucer used Satire to expose the hypocrisy of people and institutions who instead of reliving the poor from their poverty and leading them on a part of spirituality, try to make profits out of their suffering and show less concern about their suffering. The pardoner is a part of the church and should share in the suffering of others but instead he insists on getting the best food and drinks from people in poverty. He also sells redemption at a price

Contrast Nel’s relationship to her mother and Sula’s interaction with her mother. Remember to take a position in your thesis tha

kumpel [21]

The main difference between Nel’s relationship with her mother and Sula’s interaction with her mother is that Helene( Nel's mother) raises her with fear and controls her while Sula grows up without a motherly figure,

<h3>What happened in the book?</h3>

This refers to the family background of both Nel and Sula and how they lack a proper motherly influence and how they both grew up.

Hence, we can see that Nel's great-grandmother was a prostitute and because of this, Nel's mother (Helene) tries to hide her background and raises her with fear, and tries to control her life.

Furthermore, Sula and Nel become friends from childhood up until adulthood and it grows and blossoms as they are both complementary to each other in a sisterly fashion.
