Explanation:
"All for a Paisa" is a riddle presented in a folklore story with slightly varied versions in different regions and societies.
"Paisa" in the Indian sub-continent means hundredth part of a rupee. It is somewhat like to penny, hence very small/negligible amount of money.
A summary of one of the versions of the story is as follows;
A merchant is unwilling to marry his son because he does not believe in the intelligence and abilities of his son. His wife however speaks favorably about their son, and succeeds in getting a chance for his son from his husband. The merchant in order to test his son's intelligence and capacity to learn gives him one paisa to and asks for buying with this something to eat, something to drink, something to chew, something to plant in a garden, and something as food for the cow. The son by the advice of iron-smith's daughter buys a watermelon which fulfills all the requirements. His father is impressed even after knowing the truth about iron-smith daughter's helping his son. He arranges his son's marriage with that girl.
Option C is correct because the story has few brief scenes.
Option A is incorrect because son's mother thinks very positive about his son's abilities.
Option B is incorrect because the story is not one extended description of just merchant's views.
Option D is incorrect because although merchant's son has average intelligence, but his willingness to go and buy such a thing and his unhappy expression are a sign that he is willing and able to learn.

From Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales excerpt that contradicts the claim made in the third line that the prioress speaks fluent French is "For French of Paris was not hers to know."
In the General prologue, Chaucer satirizes several characters from various classes and professions. Beginning with the highest class to lower. The first character whom Chaucer introduces is the Prioress who is a nun. She is the first among the female to be described, the first question that evokes in the reader's mind is that such higher religious clergy doesn't take a vow of leading a simple life? Hence, Chaucer satirizes the church, as the members of the church belonged from the upper class. The prioress took advantage from the poor for her own good. She was very well '<em>dainty</em>' and was well-dressed. Being known as <em>"Madame Eglantyne"</em>, she was so pretentious that she hardly knew any words of French.
