Answer:

William "Boss" Tweed ran the Democratic party machine in 19th century New York City called Tammany Hall and was eventually convicted of corruption and embezzlement of government funds.

Tweed and his accomplices committed about $30 million to $200 million in fraud. It was only after a series of articles in the New York Times in 1871 that these practices came to an end. Tweed was indicted and in 1873 he was sentenced to an initial 12 years in prison. After serving one year, he was released but was immediately arrested again. A civil suit followed, but on December 4, 1875, Tweed managed to escape. He was eventually detained in Spain by the authorities there and extradited to the US where he would remain in prison until his death two years later.

Chaucer's Canterbury Tales differs from Boccaccio's Decameron in that
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The correct answer is e) It is written in verse, not prose.

Explanation:

The verse: is a rhythmic sentence of a poetic composition, which has been divided into stanzas when writing poetry.

Prose: contains a continuous structure in the text, is used to write most of the literature as novels or texts.

Giovanni Boccaccio wrote Decameron, which is considered among the best Italian classics. The Decameron is composed of a set of stories linked by the main story.

Among one of Decameron's characteristics is that the stories end with a song, and each story has a different theme. It is also a romantic book, but that gets rid of the sensibility of the time.

The Canterbury Tales are stories written by Geoffrey Chaucer, in the book he writes about society but critically above all the church. In its vast number of fictional characters, you can see the customs and practices of the time portrayed.
