Answer:

The excerpt helps demonstrate the nun'd character and personality/ upbringing.

Explanation:

Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" is a collection of many tales told by the thirty pilgrims traveling to Canterbury. The teller of the tales include everyone from a priest to a a knight, a nun to a servant.

One of the pilgrims was a nun who ran a convent. The narrator began to describe the character of the nun, pointing out that  

<em>"she had been well taught withal, And never from her lips let morsels fall, Nor dipped her fingers deep in sauce, but ate With so much care the food upon her plate That never driblet fell upon her breast. In courtesy she had delight and zest."</em>

The lines from the general prologue of the text shows her character as someone having grace and discipline, with proper manners and etiquette. The excerpt in the question helps demonstrate the character of the nun.

Answer:

Explanation:

The code of chivalry followed by knights in the Middle Ages entailed loyalty to God, the king, and one's lady. A knight was expected to show courage and courtesy and be true to his word.

Sir Gawain upholds the code throughout the plot of the narrative. Gawain’s actions throughout the narrative give evidence that he is a true knight as his chivalry is tested many times in the story.

He shows his loyalty when he steps forward to accept the Green Knight’s challenge in the place of Arthur. His courage and courtesy are reflected in his actions. He is a true knight, but he has his human weakness, as is seen when he falls prey to the temptations of Bertilak’s wife.

He does not tell Bertilak about the green girdle given by his wife to help him survive mortal attacks. However, he does not hide this fact, and he wears a green girdle as a constant reminder of his shame.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]
The correct answer is C. extended metaphor.

Metaphor on its own is a comparison (without using words such as like or as). However, when that comparison spreads throughout a text or a poem, it is referred to as extended metaphor. 

Attitude is your tone; connotation refers to your thoughts and opinions about a particular word; figurative meaning is the use of figures of speech, such as metaphor, hyperbole, etc.
