Question

Chaucer was an outstanding author of the thirteenth century. a. True b. False

Answer 1

Chaucer was an outstanding author in the 13th century, so it's True (A)

Answer 2

The correct answer is option b. "False". Chaucer, Geoffrey is considered the major poet of England in the late Middle Ages, and the most significant writer before Shakespeare. Because he lived from 1340 to 1400, he was an outstanding author but of the fourteen century not the thirteen century. Chaucer is the author of significant books such as Book of the duchess (1369), The house of fame (1379-1380) and The parliament of fowls (late 14th century).
