Read the excerpt from the General Prolgue to the Canterbury Tales. The pardon-seller’s hair was yellow as wax, And sleekly hangi

ng, like a hank of flax. In meagre clusters hung what hair he had; Over his shoulders a few strands were spread, But they lay thin, in rat’s tails, one by one. As for a hood, for comfort he wore none, For it was stowed away in his knapsack. Which statement best describes how the pardon-seller is characterized in this excerpt? He is characterized as a man who is quite handsome. He is characterized as a man who is still very young. He is characterized as a man who has long, thinning hair. He is characterized as a man who has lots of money.

Answer: C) He is characterized as a man who has long, thinning hair.

Explanation: Characterization is a literary device that consists in describing a character, it can be its physical appearance or its personality. In the given excerpt from the General Prologue to the Canterbury Tales we can see the description of the physical appearance of a pardon-seller, and the narrator characterizes him as a man who has long, thinning hair, we can see that in the phrase "Over his shoulders a few strands were spread, But they lay thin, in rat’s tails, one by one."
