Use the dictionary entry for lore to answer the question.

Kryger [21]

In this case you will be looking for a place in the sentences to identify how the word "lore" is being used as "a body of tradition."

You can practice finding out if something is an answer by inserting different words given the definitions of the word "lore." Use "tradition" in this case.

Example: Jasmine's grandmother passed all of the family's traditions on to the younger generation.

That makes sense. You try the next sentence.

"In his personal library, the retired gardener stored his handmade volumes of plant tradition."

This does not make sense - so you scratch that idea.

Finally, "The lizard's green tradition..."

Still doesn't make sense, so you find that the first sentence is the correct choice.

Answer: "Jasmine's grandmother...."

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.

A speech on "Why Students should be given an option between distance learning and on-site learning", having some examples also.

Bezzdna [24]

<em>When the Coronavirus closed down schools in March of 2020, students were forced to either take home packets of work or continue school virtually.However, as the months progressed, schools started allowing students work for their classes on campus. Some students were forced to continue virtual lessons, and some students were forced to go on campus, even though some of these students didn't go willingly. Students should be able to choose whether or not they want to go to school virtually or on campus, plain and simple. As people we are entitled to an option of choice, and if there are two ways to do school then we should be able to choose just how we want to do it.The whole ordeal concerns students so shouldn't we be able to decide?In conclusion, this means that we should be the ones deciding just how we want to work for school, whether or not it is on-site or virtually, and it is our right to do so as human beings.</em>
