Answer:

The correct answer is: The Wife of Bath is more interested in the question of what women want than in the plot of the story.

Explanation:

Thematically speaking, the tale of the Wife of Bath (as well as her role throughout the <em>Canterbury Tales</em>) is mainly concerned with the question of what women want, the answer to which seems to be, in the Wife's own words, "sovereignty" over their husbands and lovers, a reversal of the typical patriarchal social order in many Western societies, particularly in Chaucer's lifetime, wherein wives were supposed to obey their husbands in all things and leave the decision-making to them. We know this is the central underlying theme of the Wife of Bath's Tale because, in addition to its being the moral of the story of the knight and the old hag, Chaucer devotes a large part of the Wife's prologue to the stories of how she was able to control her five former husbands.

ElenaW [278]

Nile Valley civilizations such as Egyptian or Kush, have developed thanks to the Nile River. The fact that this river flows through the desert areas makes its significance even greater, as during the flood, the desert soil turned into a fertile land, attracting communities of people to have entire plantations on their coasts, whose ability to live, the possibility of rich and varied cultivation of plants, as well as attracting an animal for water. The Nile consists of two rivers, White and Blue Nile, flowing through Upper Egypt, flowing through wild rapids, narrow cliffs, and boulders, sprinkling minerals and other ingredients from these areas and merging into a river Nile and its floating makes offshore soil rich minerals in which plant breeding is possible. Liquid through Lower Egypt, Nile enters the Mediterranean, making the delta before the casting, which allows even greater flooding in the delta area, and therefore larger fertile areas.
