What does this excerpt from the beginning of F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story "Winter Dreams" tell readers about Dexter's motiv

ations as a character?
He became a golf champion and defeated Mr. T. A. Hedrick in a marvellous match played a hundred times over the fairways of his imagination, a match each detail of which he changed about untiringly—sometimes he won with almost laughable ease, sometimes he came up magnificently from behind. Again, stepping from a Pierce-Arrow automobile, like Mr. Mortimer Jones, he strolled frigidly into the lounge of the Sherry Island Golf Club—or perhaps, surrounded by an admiring crowd, he gave an exhibition of fancy diving from the spring-board of the club raft. . . . Among those who watched him in open-mouthed wonder was Mr. Mortimer Jones.
A. Dexter dreams of upstaging Mortimer Jones at golf and gaining his admiration.
B. Dexter dreams of becoming a champion golfer and buying an expensive automobile with the winnings.
C. Dexter dreams of being admitted into high society and gaining its admiration.
D. Dexter dreams of befriending Mortimer Jones so he can convince him to give him a job.
E. Dexter dreams of impressing Mortimer Jones so he can borrow his automobile.

Summarize the plot of part one of King Arthur’s Socks.
gulaghasi [49]
The plot is rather simple, two people who are married to other people fall in love with each other and want to be together but can't because of their respective marriages. The entire play is just one part, or one act, and it's a comical version of the commonly understood Arthurian characters and cliches.

Which line in this excerpt from Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales contradicts the claim made in the third line that the prioress sp
12345 [234]

From Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales excerpt that contradicts the claim made in the third line that the prioress speaks fluent French is "For French of Paris was not hers to know."

In the General prologue, Chaucer satirizes several characters from various classes and professions. Beginning with the highest class to lower. The first character whom Chaucer introduces is the Prioress who is a nun. She is the first among the female to be described, the first question that evokes in the reader's mind is that such higher religious clergy doesn't take a vow of leading a simple life? Hence, Chaucer satirizes the church, as the members of the church belonged from the upper class. The prioress took advantage from the poor for her own good. She was very well '<em>dainty</em>' and was well-dressed. Being known as <em>"Madame Eglantyne"</em>, she was so pretentious that she hardly knew any words of French.
