Answer:

a) resisting temptation.

Explanation:

Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" is a collection of tales told by the pilgrims on their way to Canterbury. The tales would be told by each pilgrim to and from the pilgrimage place of Canterbury.

"The Wife of Bath's Tale" is also part of that collection. It tells the story of how a knight had to marry an ugly old woman to get himself pardoned from his ra pe charges. Though reluctant to marry such woman, he accepted the offer of the old lady, saved the knight and got married with him. But even then, the knight couldn't accept her. So, she told him that gentility is not passed from generation to generation, nor can it be achieved or bought. Rather, it is got through performing good deeds and living a virtuous way of life.

To whom does johnny compare the southern gentleman in the book he and ponyboy are reading
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Johnny links Dally to the Southern gentlemen in terms of courage. Dally may not have the same manners as the Southern gentlemen's but johnny says that he is as brave. Dally begins to show this when he comes face to face with his own death at the end of the book. The earlier discussion of the Southern gentlemen, shown as riding fearlessly to their deaths in war, it also can be seen as a form of foreshadowing.
