Chaucer's descriptions from "The Monk's Tale" which best illustrates Fortune as unreliable is "And when men trust in her she then will fail / And cover her bright  face as with a cloud."

The monk's tale fits the category of parable because it tells the results of different people's good and bad behavior.

The Monk tale is a series of tragedies which represents the news that the wealth and position is just an illusion. He refers through the example of many falling from high to low ends, such as the example of Lucifer falling from heaven. Through such example and stories, he continues to show the people who have fallen from grace.

Model of tragedies which Monk offers is a Boethian one that is which is a reminder of the versatility of the life itself, to bring on top to those who are crashing down on the grounds and that the tendency of the feminine, whimsical fortune to spin her wheels. Hence, it is a simple narrative and Boethian reminder that high status often ends inadequately.

Which option is an example of a complex sentence?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Sentence D is an example of a complex sentence.

Explanation:

A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. The difference between an independent clause and a dependent one is that the former can stand alone as a sentence as it represents a complete thought. The ungrammaticality of sentence A proves this point.  As you can see, without the independent clause (B), the dependent clause (A) does not represent a complete idea, it depends on the main clause to complete its meaning (C).

A) *Because it is cruel

B) The death penalty should be abolished

C) Because it is cruel, the death penalty should be abolished

Le guin purposely misleads her reader as to the true identity of the narrator how does this technique help the reader understand
arsen [322]
Until the very end of the story, we don't get to realize that the narrator is a wolf, and her husband a werewolf. This adds to the suspense of the story, and we eventually get to understand the roots of her behavior: a werewolf is something in between a wolf and a human. Therefore, it is something unclean and uncanny, even from a wolf's perspective. A pack of wolves has to kill him because he, being half human, is dangerous for them. His wife has to be a part of this even though she still loves him.
