6 0

The wife of Bath replies to the knight's criticism of her poverty by stating that it is a man's actions and gentle behavioir that makes him a great gentleman, and not his possessions or his social standing. She claims that gentlemanliness cannot be inherited like wealth; even if a man grows up in a household where noble actions are cultivated, he must also act in that manner; even an earl or a duke, she says, may be devoid of a noble heart or gentlemanly manners. And she goes on to remind the knight how Jesus chose to live in poverty while performing noble deeds.

Answer:

His humble attitude made it easy for everyone to like him.

Explanation:

As already stated in the question, the word "humble" denotes someone who is not authoritative but rather open and down to earth, approachable.

Supposing it is to be replaced by the synonym "modest", though its's meaning may still be the same, its word usage will be slightly different from that of "humble".

So, the replacement of the word "humble" by "modest" will be best suitable in the last sentence where the attitude of the man is talked about. Due to his "modest" attitude, which makes him easily approachable, it made it easy for people to like him.
