You didn't really ask any question here, but I found on the Internet that you need the meaning of the underlined word <em>sportive.
</em>That word means playful, light-hearted, so if you have those options, you should pick one of them.<em>
</em>
The cold equation can't have more than one passage because it would be no room
This question is missing the options. I have found the complete question online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:
How does Chaucer characterize the young man speaking in this passage?
A. as uncomfortable
B. as loyal
C. as deceitful
D. as innocent
Answer:
Chaucer characterizes the young man:
C. as deceitful
Explanation:
When we call someone deceitful, we mean that person is false, untruthful, untrustworthy. Notice that Chaucer shows the young man is deceitful through the character's own words. He knows he is supposed to split the gold between the three of them. However, once the youngest is gone to town, he proposes to the other man that they split it only between the two of them. He clearly cannot be trusted. Therefore, letter C is the best option for this question.
The meaning of the word dispute means a form of an argument.
It helps create a concerned, yet optimistic tone.
