This question is missing the options. I have found the complete question online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:
How does Chaucer characterize the young man speaking in this passage?
A. as uncomfortable
B. as loyal
C. as deceitful
D. as innocent
Answer:
Chaucer characterizes the young man:
C. as deceitful
Explanation:
When we call someone deceitful, we mean that person is false, untruthful, untrustworthy. Notice that Chaucer shows the young man is deceitful through the character's own words. He knows he is supposed to split the gold between the three of them. However, once the youngest is gone to town, he proposes to the other man that they split it only between the two of them. He clearly cannot be trusted. Therefore, letter C is the best option for this question.

Answer:
Consonance.
Explanation:
<em>'Consonance' </em><em>is demonstrated as the literary device that involves a succession of similar consonant sounds usually at the end of syllables or words without resembling the vowel sounds in a single line(sentence) or phrase.</em> The chief aim of employing such a device is to create a rhythmic and melodious effect that would captivate the readers' attention and appeal to them. In 'abstruser musings', there is a quick succession of consonant sound 's' while in the phrase 'That was a stroke of luck', the use of consonant sound 'k' repetitively creates the rhyming effect. Thus, <u>'consonance'</u> is the answer.
