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.

Based on the friendship cluster web above, which of the following is the BEST choice for a possible thesis statement?
sammy [17]
I choice letter d. Friendship may first develop from sharing interests and having adventures, but profound relationship are built on trust, honesty, and support. Because every relationship start from friends to higher relationship like best friends but before that you need to know your people around you. So you need to know them by trusting them and to be honest to others to avoid misunderstanding to them. HONESTY is the best policy in terms of any kind of relationship then followed by SUPPORT. Everyone will support your plan or decision making specially it tackles about your personal lives.They will help you no matter what happen because best friends long last or their is forever in friendships.
