Chaucer describes different characters focusing on the positives and negatives of the people in an entertaining way. The different states included in the tales are England's clergy, the nobility and merchants.

It shows bad examples like the abuses of the clergy with the reference of the nun and the way she dresses.

A good example could be the Plowman's case. A worker that according to the author lives in pace and is a man of God. He respects the Lord and likes charity helping the poor.

Which “Christ-like” characteristic does Eva NOT have?
NeX [460]
According to the Bible, Eva's sin was to eat from the forbidden fruit by following the snake's persuasion. Had she been self-sacrificing, the argument the snake tried to use on her wouldn't have worked as she convinced her that, by eating the fruit, she would be God-like.
Also, if you take in consideration the setting of the text, there was nothing to measure riches by as Adam and Eve/Eva were the only two beings on earth. This eliminates the first option. Similarly, because there is no one else to judge, nothing supports the conclusion of Eve being judgmental or not. Because she did repent from her mistakes, we could infer that she was indeed spiritual. Therefore, the best answer is <em>self-sacrificing.</em>

politicians", as well as nongamers who consider gaming a waste of time.

Explanation:

McGonigal explains that despite the growing concern about the increasing use of games as a waste of time, there´s historical evidence (the Lydians account) that games that provide an immersive experience and a distraction from their (metaphorical) hunger for things such as a better job or at least a sense of belonging to the community.
