And it fell to the youngest of them all, And he set off at once towards the town. And thereupon, so soon as he was gone, One of

the two who stayed said to the other: "You know, of course, that you are my sworn brother. I’ll tell you something that you won’t lose by. As you can see, our friend has gone away, And here is gold, and that in greatest plenty, All waiting to be split between us three. How would it be, if I can work it so That it is only shared between us two, Wouldn’t I be doing you a friendly turn?" How does Chaucer characterize the young man speaking in this passage?

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.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

overstatement  --> E. hyperbole

pleasant-sounding  --> C. euphony

understatement  --> A. litotes

simile  --> B. cool as a cucumber

cacophony  --> D. opposite of euphony

Explanation:

An overstatement or hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration to express an idea, a feeling, an action etc.

Euphony refers to a harmonious combination of words or sounds, being pleasant to the ear.

An understatement is the description or presentation of something as being less important than what it really is. Litotes is an ironic understatement.

A simile is a figure of speech which makes a comparison - stating a similarity - between two different things. It uses words such as "as" or "like".

Cacophony is a discordance of sounds, unpleasant to the ear.
