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

Question 7 of 20
Temka [501]

Answer:

I know that A contains a dependent clause because "until we get to Brooklyn" is a dependent clause which comes before the independent clause, hence why there is a comma. It looks like B and C might have typos at the end because they end in commas and not periods. So the answer is A. Hope it helps!
