Which excerpt from the "General Prologue" of The Canterbury Tales tells us that the knight had been part of the Crusades, milita
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

From the lines that are available in the question, the ones that describe more explicitly his participation in the Crusades are:

“This self-same worthy Knight had been also

At one time with the lord of Palatye…”

Here he is described as having served the lord of Palatye. Palatye is the Middle English version of the word Palathia. Palathia was a Christian fief in Asia Minor (modern Turkey). When the Crusaders went to Asia Minor on their way to liberate the Holy Land from Islamic invaders, they established several Christian lordships along the route in order to protect Christian pilgrims from Europe on their way to Jerusalem. Palathia was one of such lordships and it was located in Asia Minor, in what had been part of the Christian Byzantine Empire and had been invaded and conquered by Muslim Turks.

What kind of imagery do these lines from Wordsworth’s "She Dwelt Among Untrodden Ways" evoke?
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

C. Visual imagery

Explanation:

This piece is about a person Lucy (whom the speaker admires a whole lot). The speaker captured the rarity & beauty of Lucy's life which was unfortunately missed by people. The speaker would describe Lucy using imagery. He likened her to:

I. the flower Violet (which is not common) in the first line to project her beauty

II. a fair star to further describe her beauty & allure in the third line

<u>In doing this, the speaker used imagery which the eyes can see </u>e.g. flower (Violet), star, sky.

Kinesthetic imagery is used to describe moving objects, gustatory imagery describes what is tasted, tactile imagery describes what can be touched or felt; all these three are NOT the correct answer

<u>Hence, the author used visual imagery. That means option C is the correct answer</u>
