According to the narrator - Geoffrey Chaucer- A GROUP OF PILGRIMS, "sundry folk" arrived at the inn.
Each pilgrim is described in the Prologue of the book. ( A pilgrim is a traveler sho is on a journey to a holy place. In this case, to Canterbury, where the shrine of Thomas Beckett is).
Chaucer describes their condition, their social decree and their array. Among the pilgrims there are a knight, a squire, a cook, a carpenter, a doctor of physic, a wife of Bath, etc.
At the end of the Prologue, the host proposes a story telling contest: each pilgrim will have to tell 2 stories on the way to Canterbury and two on the way back.
That's why the title of the book is the "Canterbury Tales"
Answer:
OD To make Gregor seem less connected to his parents.
Explanation:
Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" revolves around the transformation of Gregor Samsa into an insect, making him alienated and reclusive of his own family. Moreover, the story delves into the aloofness, alienation, change, and the importance of family relations in an individual's life.
As given in the question, the two translations of the same text make a different aspect of the story and its characters. While Joachim Neugroschel's translation addressed the parents using the article "the", David Wyllie's translation used the possessive pronoun "his" to refer to Gregor's parents. This difference in referring to the parents is that while <u>Wyllie's version shows a close bond between the parents-son, Neugroschel presents a rather disconnected relationship between Gregor and his parents</u>. He seems to address or mention the parents in such a way that they feel no connection to their son, who has changed.
This use of "the" for the parents instead of "his" seems to show the weak or rather strained connection between Gregor and his parents. Thus, the <u>correct answer is option D</u>.
In most cases, the state's rate of on-time payment is similar to this rate at a county's level.
On-time payment refers to the specific date a company should pay suppliers. This date is usually established through a formal contract and it is defined by specific business conventions.
Moreover, the number of times a payment occurs on time and the number of times a payment occurs after the established date determine the rate of on-time payments.
For example:
- 10 (total of payments)
- 5 (payments on time)
- = 50%
Despite this, it is common the on-time payments rate is similar across states and across counties not only due to shared cultural behaviors such as considering paying on time is highly important but also because states and therefore counties can have laws that regulate this rate.
