Why does Chaucer picture the prioress with a coral trinket on her arm

English
1 answer:
inn [45]3 years ago
6 0

The prioress is a nun who is head of a house of nuns. At the beginning of the tale, Chaucer describes her physical appearance such as her mouth, her eyes and her face. Then, he moves on to describe what she has: her clothes and her jewellery. The coral trinket on her arm is the first piece of jewellery Chaucer mentions. The reader expects a nun not to wear any jewellery of decorative nature because she is devoted to God and does not have to worry about her looks or about materialistic things such as jewellery. The "coral trinket" is the first hint the author gives the reader that shows the prioress is not the typical nun one would expect.

Which is the best revision of the sentence below? "She tried to hold the dog back but Anna was just not strong enough for the bu
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

C.  Anna tried to hold back the dog, but she just was not strong enough for the bulk, power, and movement of the dog.

Explanation:

A revision is when a given sentence or any given passage is rewritten in a better form. This can involve changes in the words, or voice or tense, or even the structure of the whole sentence.

In the given sentence, the proper noun is used after the pronoun. Instead of using the pronoun to start the sentence, if we use the proper noun "Anna" to start the sentence, then the sentence is made easier to understand and also who is being talked about. Also, changing the structure of the sentence by rearranging certain words will make the sentence better in form and construction.

Thus, the revised sentence will be option C.
