<span>From the Friar's Tale, it is easily inferred that the Friar has no respect for Summoners and holds them in disdain. The Friar's Tale seems to exist for a single purpose: the humiliation and degradation of members of a certain profession. The Tale begins by exposing the means by which summoners blackmail and extort persons, but does not attack the church system that allows this to happen, but rather the men who represent this system and exploit these workings of the church. Yet the Friar's Tale surpasses the Reeve's Tale in its vitriol for its main character. While Symkyn, the immoral miller of the Reeve's tale, is hardly an exemplary character and exists only for ridicule, he at least is given a proper name that separates him from his profession. The main character of the Friar's Tale is an impersonal representation of all summoners and the fate they deserve.</span>
Answer:
1. Odysseus has his men tie him so that he will resist the call of the Sirens. --> With strength and planning, one can resist temptation.
2. Odysseus's men forget about going home after eating the lotus. --> Temporary pleasures can make people forget their long-term goals.
3. Odysseus longs for home even when happy with Calypso and Circe. --> Exciting new places cannot replace home's comforts.
Explanation:
1. The call of the Sirens was supposedly irresistible. Once a man listened to it, he was dragged by them into the ocean and, consequently, died. However, Odysseus plans in advance. He asks his men to tie him so that he can hear the call, but not drown trying to reach the Sirens. He will force himself to resist temptation.
2. Odysseus and his men are struggling to go back home once the Trojan War is over. However, when the situation gets better, the men forget about their goal, content with the temporary pleasures they are experimenting.
3. No matter how happy and comfortable other women may make him, Odysseus always longs to return home to his wife and son. Even if the world has more exciting and new things to offer, the feeling that there is something missing is constantly there, guiding Odysseus back to his family.

Answer:
C). To mock him as weak.
Explanation:
The purpose behind singing about King George III as the 'island queen' in 'Revolutionary Tea' is that the poet is willing 'to mock at his cruelty of putting 'three-penny' tax on the daily use items like 'tea' despite being rich and powerful('full of gold'). The poet is ridiculing the hypocrisy and brutality of the king through the image of the island queen who forces 'her own daughter'(the citizens) to pay the tax and orders her to 'bring home the tax.' Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
