Answer:

"Round the decay/Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare"

Explanation:

Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem "Ozymandias" describes a traveler's encounter with an ancient statue of Ozymandias and how dilapidated it had become. The poem is suggestive of the destructive power of nature and how man's works seemed mere obstacles for the stronger power of nature.

In the words of the poet through the traveler, we can know that the once-mighty statue of Ozymandias had now become "a shattered visage [with] wrinkled lip." Though proudly displayed with the words "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!", the only thing that remained is a "decay[ing] colossal wreck".

The words "decay" and "colossal wreck" best indicate the state of the statue.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

The ironic thing in the words used by the narrator to describe the summoner in "the prologue" to The Canterbury Tales is:

The Summoner was corrupt and was ready to forgive a transgression for a cup of wine

According to the complete text, we can see that the Summoner is trying to convince a transgressor that he would allow him to keep a concubine if only he gave him a quart of wine.

As a result of this, we can see that the ironic thing is that the Summoner is supposed to be a church excommunicator who is sent by the Archdeacon to expunge people who committed offences against the doctrines of the church but he was willing to accept a bribe so that he would not do his job.
