 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.

Answer:

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.(PLATO)

What literary device is most prominent in this excerpt from Moore's poem, "Silence"?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Connotation.

Explanation:

"Silence" poem is written by Marianne Moore. The poet speaks about the advice that the speaker's father has bestowed upon him/her in childhood. The advice given by the father was to be silent.

The literary device used in this line is connotation.

Connotation is the literary device which is used by the writer to suggest different meaning of the word than its literal meaning.

The word silence means willfully not expressing what one feels but restraint means a forceful suppression by which one is kept from speaking anything.

So, in the conclusive paragraph of the poem, the speaker is trying to say that her father is not teaching her to be silent, i.e., willfully not speaking but restraining her from speaking, meaning that even if she wants to speak she should keep silent.

So, the correct answer is connotation.
