English

The Summoner was a church official who was responsible for calling out sinners before the courts. Although this was his job, he himself is a sinner. The Summoner would allow a sinner to keep a mistress for an entire year just in return for a quart of wine. He is sympathetic to such people because in all likelihood he commits the same sin himself.

Answer:

B). They are similar because both are about love for a woman others may find lacking.

Explanation:

The key similarity between the given lines from 'Sonnet 130' and 'Sonnet 131' of William Shakespeare is that 'they both talk about the love for a lady who other people may find incomplete or lacking.' In both the sonnets, <u>the speaker talks about love beyond physical appearance and beauty and breaks the stereotypes of associating the beloved with beauty('most precious jewel' and 'false compare')</u>. Shakespeare primarily aims to offer a different representation of love in order to break away from the traditional perspective of love and beloved. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
