Answer and Explanation:

1. Because she is a woman far ahead of her time, presenting women in positions that were not stimulated in society and that could shock listeners. Her story is about female freedom, wisdom and even sexual freedom and that was not something advocated in women at the time.

2. The king's punishment is for the knight to be executed for having abused a maiden against her will.

3. The queen begs the king for mercy. The irony in this is that no one imagined that the queen would impose a task so that the knight would not be executed, as readers might think that she would intercede for the knight only because she was kind and not a strategist as she proved to be.

4. Bath's wife claims that having the power to dominate is what binds women to men, because by dominating their husbands, women are able to satisfy their desires and enjoy everything that gives them pleasure. What the old woman values most is the loyalty between the couple

When Mairs does find someone who represents her how does she respond to their depiction of a person with disabilities
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Mairs responded by telling them that their depiction was painful to the disabled people, especially when it comes to their<u> self-esteem</u>. This makes the disabled people hopeless in conforming to the society that they belong–thinking that they'll never be good enough when compared to the able-bodied in the advertisements. This makes them <u>invisible to the society.</u>

Explanation:

The local advertiser she asked responded to her that they didn't include disabled people in their advertisements because<u><em> people might get a wrong notion that the advertisement was only for the disabled people.</em></u>

For Mairs, it is important that the able-bodied people should also recognize the disabled people as an important part of the society.
