Read the excerpt from "A Quilt of a Country." The reality is often quite different, a great national striving consisting frequen

tly of failure. Many of the oft-told stories of the most pluralistic nation on earth are stories not of tolerance, but of bigotry. Slavery and sweatshops, the burning of crosses and the ostracism of the other. Children learn in social-studies class and in the news of the lynching of blacks, the denial of rights to women, the murders of gay men. It is difficult to know how to convince them that this amounts to "crown thy good with brotherhood," that amid all the failures is something spectacularly successful. Which statement best summarizes the central idea of this excerpt? Due to the many cultures represented in our nation, our history is spoiled by racist acts. The high number of horrors committed in our diverse nation makes it difficult to believe in a united people. Children in American schools are only learning about the negative parts of American history—and none of the positive. Among all of the acts of hatred and racism, there is good in our population made of immigrants.

what is ironic in the words used by the narrator to describe the summoner in "the prologue" to the canterbury tales. Youd meet n
Dafna1 [17]

The ironic thing in the words used by the narrator to describe the summoner in "the prologue" to The Canterbury Tales is:

  • <u>The Summoner was corrupt and was ready to forgive a transgression for a cup of wine</u>

According to the complete text, we can see that the Summoner is trying to convince a transgressor that he would allow him to keep a concubine if only he gave him a quart of wine.

As a result of this, we can see that the ironic thing is that the Summoner is supposed to be a church excommunicator who is sent by the Archdeacon to expunge people who committed offences against the doctrines of the church but he was willing to accept a bribe so that he would not do his job.
