Read the excerpt from "Perseus and the Quest for Medusa's Head." One day, the king called all the noble young men of his country

together and told them that he was soon to marry a queen from beyond the sea. He asked each of them to bring him a present to be given to the bride’s father, for in those times it was the custom that when any man was to be married, he must offer costly gifts to the father of the bride. “What kind of presents do you want?” said the young men. “Horses,” answered the king, for he knew that Perseus himself had no horses to give. Perseus was vexed by the king’s request, which he knew was meant to shame him. Impulsively he cried out, “Horses—is that all you ask? Why don’t you ask for something worth having? Why don’t you ask for Medusa’s head?” Upon hearing this, the king smiled triumphantly. “Then Medusa’s head it shall be!” he said. "These young men may give me horses, but you, Perseus, must bring me the head of Medusa." Which detail from the text best supports the inference that Perseus is being reckless by trying to impress the king? "Upon hearing this, the king smiled triumphantly. 'Then Medusa’s head it shall be!' he said." "'Why don’t you ask for something worth having? Why don’t you ask for Medusa’s head?'” "Perseus was vexed by the king’s request, which he knew was meant to shame him." “'Horses,' answered the king, for he knew that Perseus himself had no horses to give."

Answer:

Explanation:At that point, Danae was childless, and to keep the prophecy from coming true, Acrisius locked her in a tower. However, Zeus had seen Danae and had grown fond of her; so, during the night, he appeared to her in the form of golden rain and impregnated her. She gave birth to a baby, which she named Perseus.

Explain how one of the pilgrims from "the prologue" represents an issue of medieval society?
gavmur [86]

In <em>The Canterbury Tales</em>, Chaucer describes a pilgrimage that was common during medieval times among English Christians: a visit to Canterbury Cathedral to visit the shrine of Saint Thomas Beckett.

In his prologue, the author introduces several pilgrims he claims to have met. Most of these pilgrims are an exaggerated version of a medieval archetype. Therefore, by examining them, we can gain some insight into the issues that were present in medieval society.

For example, the priest is described as the "best one around," and as an extremely pious and honorable man. The nun is similarly praised for her good maners and innocence. This shows the influence that religion had at the time, as the priest is so admired for being a representative of the Church. It also shows that priests and nuns had more access to education and better opportunities in general. That is why the nun is so polite and has such good manners. People not having access to education was a major problem of medieval times.

Another example is the case of the knight and the summoner. While the knight is presented as an example of the perfect man, the summoner is physically repulsive. This gives us some insight into the issue of class and social status of the time. While knights are extremely valued and admired for their work, summoners are seen as dishonest and unethical.

The questions below refer to the selection “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Act IV.”
tangare [24]
It's not a. obviously because he doesn't know that she and her father fought over her not wanting to marry him. It's not b. because he acts like she is already his wife and I quote says "Till then, adieu, and keep this holy kiss." It isn't c. because the whole reason her father insisted he marry her so quickly was because of her deep grieving over "Tybalt", which concludes that the answer is d. (Sorry just wanted to be thorough so you wouldn't be confused.)
