Answer:
From the lines that are available in the question, the ones that describe more explicitly his participation in the Crusades are:
“This self-same worthy Knight had been also
At one time with the lord of Palatye…”
Here he is described as having served the lord of Palatye. Palatye is the Middle English version of the word Palathia. Palathia was a Christian fief in Asia Minor (modern Turkey). When the Crusaders went to Asia Minor on their way to liberate the Holy Land from Islamic invaders, they established several Christian lordships along the route in order to protect Christian pilgrims from Europe on their way to Jerusalem. Palathia was one of such lordships and it was located in Asia Minor, in what had been part of the Christian Byzantine Empire and had been invaded and conquered by Muslim Turks.
The author described the main character's countrymen as scornful and sometimes doubtful but at the end of the story, the author seems to be pleased with his countrymen.
The correct answer is A. Perhaps Anna could consider her decisions more carefully.
Explanation
The tone of a sentence is the name given to the intonation and how an idea is expressed. the speaker separates his thoughts using pauses or silences and by variations in the tone of voice; in written language, these pauses and variations in pitch are generally represented by the period (.) and, sometimes, by question marks (?), exclamation points (!) or by an ellipsis (...). Additionally, the tone can be modified with the words used towards another person, for example, the sentence "Perhaps Anna could consider her decisions more carefully" invites Anna to reflect on her decision and make her decisions more carefully, unlike the sentence "Anna-she's a girl who acts silly" because she has a more aggressive tone towards Anna and makes a value judgment on the situation by insulting the other person. Therefore, the sentence that shows the best tone of the writer is A. Perhaps Anna could consider her decisions more carefully.
