The knight is portrayed as an ideal and noble knight who lives by the code of chivalry. He’s distinguished but not boastful. He has fought in the Crusades and is well traveled. His admirable traits come across in the language Chaucer uses, as in this excerpt:

Though so illustrious, he was very wise

And bore himself as meekly as a maid.

He never yet had any vileness said,

In all his life, to whatsoever wight

He was a truly perfect, gentle Knight.

 The first pilgrim Chaucer describes in the General Prologue, and the teller of the first tale. The Knight represents the ideal of a medieval Christian man-at-arms. He has participated in no less than fifteen of the great crusades of his era. Brave, experienced, and prudent, the narrator greatly admires him.

What is the meaning of "Where far remote/ The moonbeams gloat"
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Personification

Explanation:

This is a type of personification. Personification is like a figure of the speech in which the non-living things are present as living things such as human beings. This is an art in which non-human things are present as living things. Personification is the quality that presents the qualities, feelings, emotions, and sensation and the gestures with the help of metaphor.

Thus here the lines such as where far remote/ the moonbeam gloats carry a personification in its meaning.

Read the passage from When Birds Get Flu and Cows Go Mad! by John DiConsiglio.
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

In the first paragraph, the author explains the amount of cows Japan and most European nations test, making the reader recognize that there is a sense of accomplishment for those specific countries and nations. But when the author moves on to paragraph two, the transition used is the word "But". This immediately makes the reader think that there is an under-lying problem or there is a downside to the facts before this paragraph.

I hope this helped~!
