Answer:

She asks Jesus to send meek husbands and prays that he will cut short the lives of men who refuse to be governed by their wives.

Explanation:

Towards the end of the tale, the Wife of Bath asks Jesus to send meek husbands who can be controlled by their wives. This is in reference to the story that the Wife of Bath tells. In this story, she claims that women's greatest wish is to have sovereignty over their husbands. When the knight in the story follows this, and respects her wife's opinion, his life and his wife become wonderful. Therefore, the Wife of Bath thinks this is an ideal arrangement and prays to Jesus to only send men who can live under those terms.

The answer is

She asks Jesus to send meek husbands and prays that he will cut short the lives of men who refuse to be governed by their wives.

"She offers the knight a choice: either he can have her be ugly but loyal and good, or he can have her young and fair but also coquettish and unfaithful. The knight ponders in silence. Finally, he replies that he would rather trust her judgment, and he asks her to choose whatever she thinks best. Because the knight’s answer gave the woman what she most desired, the authority to choose for herself, she becomes both beautiful and good. The two have a long, happy marriage, and the woman becomes completely obedient to her husband. The Wife of Bath concludes with a plea that Jesus Christ send all women husbands who are young, meek, and fresh in bed, and the grace to outlive their husbands."

In The Sand Neckoner, what does Archimedes realize about the Great Harbor that turns the story
ohaa [14]

Answer:

In the passage, ‘The Sand Reckoner” Marcus’s words about needing to disembark contribute to the plot because in paragraph 2 Archimedes is trying to play mathematical games with Marcus, but Marcus is trying to get Archimedes to be serious. He is trying to get Archimedes to understand there’s a war going on and he needs to focus and stop playing games.

Packing the abacus = Facing reality, and seeing that a war is going on, and Syracuse has protected itself. Focusing and attending to the tasks at hand.
