Answer:
The universal theme this selection suggests is:
A) Weddings are joyous occasions.
Explanation:
The reason why the women are picking flowers in the poem "Prothalamion
" by Edmund Spenser is that they are getting married. Weddings are joyous occasions, and so the brides are happily choosing flowers for their bouquets. This is a simple and small moment of celebration as they choose flowers to adorn one of the most important days of their lives. Therefore, I believe letter A is the best option.
The knight is not punished because the queen asks the king to show mercy to the knight, as shown in option C.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- The knight committed a very serious crime with a court maiden.
- This crime demanded that he be severely punished, however, the queen, enchanted by his beauty and wanting to teach him a lesson, asks the king to have mercy and allows the knight to have a chance to apologize for what he has done.
For this reason, the queen launches a challenge to the knight. She claims that if he finds out what women's greatest desire is, he will be spared his crime.
