Which excerpt from the "General Prologue" of The Canterbury Tales tells us that the knight had been part of the Crusades, milita

ry expeditions
in which Christians sought to win the Holy Land?
In Latvia raided he, and Russia,
No christened man so oft of his degree.
In far Granada at the slege was he...
And he'd fought for our faith at Tramissene
Three times in lists, and each time slain his foe.
This self-same worthy Knight had been also
At one time with the lord of Palatye..
And always won he sovereign fame for prize.
Though so illustrious, he was very wise
And bore himself as meekly as a mald.

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.

Read chapter 1, “The Prison-Door,” from The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne and answer the question that follows.
Andreas93 [3]

Answer: E. They are a conservative and pious community.

Explanation:

The opening description of the men whom were in “sad-colored garments”, “steeple-crowned hats” and “bareheaded” or hooded women simply shows that the characters were in a conservative and pious community.

The introduction to the Puritan society coupled with the "sad-colored garments" and steeple-crowned hats” shows that the community was dour, and judgmental and the community had people who were traditional, conservative and deeply religious.

Therefore, the correct option is E.

In the poem, "the road not taken"
MissTica

Answer:

The poet's dilemma was that he did not know which road he had to choose when the road split into two. He looked down to one road and realised that, that road was taken by most of the people. The other road was covered in grass and proves that very less people have taken that road.
