 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)

The correct option is: <em>the reader could set his or her own pace and reread parts for clarity.</em>

When we read a text, we are able to do it in <em>our own pace</em>, <em>managing our time</em>, and <em>reading again</em> the parts we could not understand the first time.

On the other hand, <em>listening to audios</em> (or watching videos) can easily <em>affect our emotional perception</em> about a particular theme.

Xelga [282]

Answer: C. I look forward to working with a woman doctor soon.

Bias refers to an unfair prejudice a person has towards a particular group, person or thing. In this sentence, the author is showing a gender bias, as he prefers to work with women than with men. Whether that is a "positive" stereotype (women are more capable, they work harder, etc.) or a negative one (women are more attractive, easier to control, etc.), it gives an unfair advantage to one gender over the other one with no fair justification. Therefore, it  is to be discouraged in the workplace.
