100 POINTS PLEASE ANSWER QUICKLYYYYYYYYSisterly Advice: "Dear Abby" and "Ann Landers"

bonufazy [111]

Answer: B - publication of "Ann Landers" ceased in 2002.

Explanation:

The question is asking us to infer information based on what is *explicitly* given to us in the passage.

If information is not in the passage, any inferences gained from personal opinions are irrelevant to the correct answer.

Looking at each answer choice:

A: Lederer started "Ann Landers" to compete with "Dear Abby."

Reading through the passage, there is nothing to support this statement.

The passage explicitly states that Lederer assumed the Ann Landers pen name after the original author's death in 1955 and makes no mention of competition with the "Dear Abby" pen name.

B: Publication of "Ann Landers" ceased in 2002.

The passage explicitly states that Lederer, the author behind "Ann Landers", died in 2002. It also states that she chose to not have someone continue writing under the name. This implies that the pen name was officially retired, as the only person eligible to write under it was no longer available to write and was not passed on. This is the correct answer.

C: Margo was angry her mother didn't pass "Ann Landers" on.

The passage only talks about Margo, Lederer's daughter, on one occasion. This was to show evidence of the two sisters not speaking for years. The passage makes no attempt to show anger on the part of Margo, nor does it mention Margo's relationship with her mother.

D: Margo now writes the "Dear Abby" column, too.

This is directly false, according to the passage. Jeanine, Pauline Phillips' daughter, inherited the name and has no relation to Margo (according to the passage) besides family ties.

The correct answer is B.

Is historical context created in the monks tale

mojhsa [17]

Although the Host demands a merry tale from the Monk, the Monk instead gives a series of cameo tragedies, all of which deal with the role of fortune in a man's life. The Monk catalogues the fickleness of Fortune through a series of abbreviated tales about such people as Lucifer, Adam, Hercules, Samson, Nero, and so on — all who were initially favored but eventually abandoned by Fortune. The Monk concludes when the Knight interrupts him and pleads for a merry tale.

Analysis

The Monk's series of little tragedies report the gloomy news that all wealth and position in the world are pure illusion, and nothing can prevent the fall of the proud. The Monk sums up his theme in the introductory stanza: "For sure it is, if fortune decides to flee, / No man may stay her course or keep his hold; / Let no one trust a blind prosperity." ("For certein, whan that Fortune list to flee, / Ther may no man the cours of hire withhholde. / Lat no man truste on blynd prosperitee . . . .")

Why Chaucer wrote these stories for the Monk is unclear. They are monotonous, and the inevitable moral of each — one cannot depend on fickle fortune — comes as no surprise to the reader. This tale is often thought to be one of Chaucer's early writings. Certainly it has none of the subtly of most of his other tales. Some authorities believe that Chaucer at one time considered writing a book of tragedies, and since he never completed his book of tragedies, this perhaps accounts for the their inclusion in The Canterbury Tales. They were simply available and seemed suitable for the Monk to relate.
