Read the excerpt from Midsummer by Derek Walcott. With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings, midsummer’s leaves race

to extinction like the roar of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses; they seethe toward autumn’s fire—it is in their nature, being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun. Based on the excerpt, what is the speaker’s perspective on the riot? The speaker thinks that the riot was a mistake. The speaker thinks that the riot was somewhat inevitable. The speaker thinks that the riot should have happened in the fall. The speaker thinks that the riot was entirely preventable.

Answer:

14. Is Adventure; obstacles; damsels in distress.

15. is He does not think highly of women in general.

16. is The Knight committed a terrible crime.

Explanation:

Basically, the knight in "The Wife of Bath" had found a woman by a river, ("damsel in distress"), and sought to take advantage of her, because he did not believe women are of importance, or really matter, so he inevitably raped her, which is why 16. is what it is, because his action with the woman by the river, was a crime, and a terrible thing.

Hope this helped.
