Answer: None of the above explain the difference between the pronounciation of "wife" in Middle English and "wife" in Modern English.

<u>Final "e" in Middle English is pronounced as</u><u><em> schwa</em></u><u>, the neutral vowel sound in Modern English. </u>

Middle English was the form of English used in England from the time of the Norman Conquest  until the 16th century. The main difference between Middle English and Modern English is the pronunciation of the "long" vowels due to the Great Vowel Shift. In the case of "wife", in Middle English the final "e" is pronounced "uh", as an unstressed <em>schwa</em> (/ə/), and the German final "e", while in Modern English the final "e" is not pronounced.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

They demonstrate Sinbad's respectability and his generosity toward the porter.

However, the speaker also tells us that Sinbad was generous, as he invited the porter to sit next to him, poured him some wine and asked him his name and occupation.
