What is ironic in the words used by the narrator to describe the Summoner in “The Prologue” to The Canterbury Tales? You’d meet

none better if you went to find one. / Why, he’d allow—just for a quart of wine— / Any good lad to keep a concubine. (ll. 666–668)

It could be said that these words used to describe the Summoner are ironic because he is presented as a drunk and that he only can speak Latin. What is more, he is described as a not very clean man so by using these lines the narrator is, in a way, making fun of the character as an opposition to what has been described .

Look for shifts in verb tense. Tell if the sentence is correct or incorrect.
Nataly_w [17]

As you may know, verb tense has three basic forms—past, present, and future.  When constructing sentences, you’ll always want to use the same verb tense within a sentence when describing actions that are/were/will be concurrent.  As such, let’s look at the sentences:

1. <em>The soccer team was good and is still improving. </em>

Sentence 1 is incorrect because “still” implies that the state of the soccer team and its improvement exist at the same time.  Thus, the team is good and is still improving is how things should correctly be presented.  

2.  <em>The singer is singing songs he performed last year.   </em>

Sentence 2 is correct because the actions mentioned are not concurrent.  The singer singing is in the present, and the songs were performed in the past.  As such, both actions are represented accurately with the correct tense.

Imagine you are a citizen of Lithuania. Is the military draft necessary in your country? Or should becoming a soldier always be
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

<em>Me as a person, yes, the military draft is extremely necessary. People may die, may be seperated from families for an extended period of time, but, serving the country and honoring it is a necessity. But, at the same time, I could genuinely see the other side, aswell. People possibly passing away, while the people they love are in painful anticipation, not even knowing their husband is dead until much later on.</em>
