From Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales excerpt that contradicts the claim made in the third line that the prioress speaks fluent French is "For French of Paris was not hers to know."

In the General prologue, Chaucer satirizes several characters from various classes and professions. Beginning with the highest class to lower. The first character whom Chaucer introduces is the Prioress who is a nun. She is the first among the female to be described, the first question that evokes in the reader's mind is that such higher religious clergy doesn't take a vow of leading a simple life? Hence, Chaucer satirizes the church, as the members of the church belonged from the upper class. The prioress took advantage from the poor for her own good. She was very well '<em>dainty</em>' and was well-dressed. Being known as <em>"Madame Eglantyne"</em>, she was so pretentious that she hardly knew any words of French.

Chlorine. Lodine. And quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) are three approved sanitizer concentration it is recommended to use?
salantis [7]

Answer:

It is recommended to use test strips when using the Quat solution because it doesn't always come in the right concentration.

Test strips help to check this. Sometimes, the water with which the solution is being diluted already contains other chemicals which can enervate the potency of the quat. Other times, the Quat itself comes as an already weaken solutions.

Cheers!
