I'd choose dark, inaccessible, and comfortless. The other words don't really pin down the tone ("draperies"? "General"?).
The question ask to choose among the following choices that could support the said excerpt and the best answer would be letter B. the discrimination and bigotry faced by African Americans throughout history in the United States. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
Answer:
"Quote" (Good Housekeeping, 24).
Explanation:
In-text citations are inserted in the body of your paper to shortly emphasize the source of your information. Brief in-text citations point the reader to more complete information in the works cited list at the end of the paper. <u>The works cited list would look like this -->> "Environmentally Friendly Flooring." </u><em><u>Good Housekeeping</u></em><u>, Dec. 2011, p. 24.</u>
But as we need the in-text citation, we would put in parentheses the name of the magazine and the page where we quoted from -->> <u>"Quote" (Good Housekeeping, 24).</u>
I hope it helped you :)
A theme that Geoffrey Chaucer develops through these two excerpts is that of treachery, since both King Peter of Spain and King Peter of Cyprus were betrayed and their lives ended tragically. King Peter of Spain was betrayed by a man named Bertrand, who had agreed to protect him in exchange for a great compensation, but who eventually handed him over to his half-brother, Henry, who promised him an even greater reward and who assassinated Peter in his tent in 1369, becoming the new king. This is narrated in the excerpt, where Bertrand is compared not with Oliver of Charlemagne, friend of Charlemagne, but with the knight that betrayed him ("No, Oliver of Charlemagne... such a trap!").
Peter I of Cyprus devoting his short yet intense life to fight Islam, and he led the short yet devastating Alexandrian Crusade, but his life ended abruptly. Betrayed by his wife and by some of his closer knights, he was assassinated in his bed also in 1369. This is also referred in the poem ("That conquered Alexandria... on thy bed!").
To sum up, both excerpts revolve around this theme, which they present very similarly: after emphasizing the deeds of the two historical characters, they finalize by regretting their tragic endings.
