I have read the passage in "The Contest" and I believe the following lines suggest that Emperor Nero was ruthless:

<span>“Quick, Policles, quick!” he cried. “My pony is tethered behind yonder grove. A grey he is, with red trappings. </span>Get you gone as hard as hoof will bear you, for if you are taken you will have no easy death.”
“No easy death! What mean you, Metas? Who is the fellow?”
<span>“Great Jupiter! did you not know? Where have you lived? <span>It is Nero the Emperor! Never would he pardon what you have said about his voice. </span>Quick, man, quick, or the guards will be at your heels!” - This was the conversation of Policles and his friend, Metas of Corinth</span>

According to the monk, what is one of Fortune's traits?
Scrat [10]

Answer:

B. She whimsically changes her mind about whom she supports.

Explanation:

Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" contain a collection of tales told by the pilgrims on their way to Canterbury. The Monk's tale is one among the others who were made to tell stories so as to pass the time.

In Monk's tale, the theme focus on how fortune affects a man's life. The fickleness of fortune, the temporary nature of its generosity and interest in a man is what the monk wants to warn the others. And in his tale, the Monk reveals that one trait of Fortune is that she whimsically supports and then changes her mind about the person she favors without no warning. He states <em>"whan that Fortune list to flee, / Ther may no man the cours of hire withholde. / Lat no man truste on blynd prosperitee"</em>.

Thus, the <u>correct answer is option B</u>.
