Answer:

Hi! I am afraid your answer is incomplete. You are not mentioning the text you are referring to, nor you are giving an excerpt for us to take as an example. Anyways, I'll try to help you figure out the correct answer.

Explanation:

As I can deduce from the options you are given, this is a story about historical events that took place or involved Great Britain. Usually, the speaker's purpose, in every story, is to inform, persuade or entertain the audience. Generally, those purposes overlap because the speaker does all at the same time: inform the audience while entertains and, maybe even without wanting it, persuade the audience because they hear his/her side of the facts. So, the correct answer can be any of this, but you have to read the text carefully and see which purpose predominates here. Is the speaker mostly giving information about facts that occurred in Britain? Is the speaker mostly calling his/her audience to take action against the British? Is he/she telling a story in an entertaining way, with anecdotes included? Is he/she describing something he/she himself/herself witnessed?

When you answer this question, you'll have your answer. Pick the option that best fits your perception of the story and you'll do great.

Good luck!

Who was the Welsh cleric who lived from ca. 1100 to 1155 and wrote "The Prophecies of Merlin", the poetic "Life of Merlin", and

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

His name was Geoffrey of Monmouth.

Explanation:

Geoffrey of Monmouth was a cleric born between 1095 and 1100 who is famous to this day for his influence over the Arthurian myths. Much of his life cannot be accounted for since information is scarce. We do not know precisely where he was born; some sources say he was Welsh, others say he was British. The exact year when he was born is also controversial.

Geoffrey was the author of the "History of the Kings of Britain", or Historia Regum Britanniae, which was translated into several languages. Nowadays, this work is considered unreliable. But Geoffrey's earliest work was probably the Prophecies of Merlin which, as its name reveals, contains a number of prophecies attributed to the wizard Merlin. Some say the character Merlin was created by Geoffrey himself, but Geoffrey claimed to have based him in older Brittonic traditions.
