It might be said that the first lesson of the poem is to float on one´s back (option A) It seems that a father is teaching his daughter to swim on her back. This can be inferred by the use of certain words such as "Lie back daughter" "spread your arms wide". It also might be understood that the lesson is deep that that, It might suggest a father letting her daughter go, letting her be because she is going to be safe.
The paragraph that reflects a sighful moment is "Instead, I would sit by myself under a big pine tree in the courtyard, watching the other kids laugh and joke with their cliques at lunch." but she was too shy to join them. The climax is reflected in "For me, it wasn't until eighth grade that I found out how courageous I could be."
I believe it's A. That's considering the the words they used and the listing format.
<span>The Wife of Bath's tale was written to show the emerging role of women in the Middle Ages. They were moving from being submissive, almost property, to sovereign women with strong opinions and independence. These characteristics were, at the time, only appreciated in men and were frowned on in women. This tale shows that a woman can be a woman and still be independent, strong, and sovereign.</span>
