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.
Answer:
The correct answer to the question: Which of the following excerpts from part one of "Trifles" suggest that Mrs. Hale believes Mrs. Wright may have had a motive for killing her husband, would be, MRS. HALE: She used to wear pretty clothes and be lively, when she was Minnie Foster, one of the town girls, singing in the choir.
Explanation:
"Trifles", a play that was written by Susan Glaspell, and which was first presented in 1916, narrates the story of the investigation of the murder of John Wright, and the process that takes place as his wife, Mrs. Wright is suspected of having committed the act. During the scene where the County Attorney, the Sheriff, Mr. Hale and the two latters´ wives come into the Wright home, the two women: Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters, are left in the kitchen. As they observe the scene before them, the two of them start to notice some things that seem strange to them, especially given what they know about the role of a wife. But there is a specific moment when Mrs. Hale, accompanying Mrs. Peters into the front room closet, tells the latter, after she remarks on the coldness of the room, that Mrs. Wright changed a lot after her marriage to Mr. Wright, that she used to be much happier and involved in activities in town, while now, after her marriage, she has become isolated and seems sadenned all the time. This remark from Mrs. Hale points to the fact that the woman is already observing the evidence and gathering conclusions from what she can see around her, and from what she knows about Mrs. Wright.

Answer:
I believe the theme of "Pastoral" is<u> </u><u>"adaptation." </u>
Explanation:
"Pastoral" is a poem written by <em>Jennifer Chang</em>, an American scholar and poet. The poem is part of her collection called<u> "The History of Anonymity."</u> It is a type of<em> lyrical poem</em> whereby the writer expresses her emotions through <u>nature</u>, such as<em> plants, fruits, grass, weeds, etc. </em>
The theme of Pastoral is<u> "adaptation."</u> It talks about <u><em>how nature adapts to what is happening in the surrounding environment.</em></u> For example, it mentioned <em>"Something in the field has mastered distance by living too close to fences."</em> This shows how such part of nature mastered its situation by living close to the fences.
The poem also shows how some cannot master such situation as it's mentioned in the end<em>, "Something in the field cannot." </em>This also shows "survival of the fittest." One example of this is<em> grass fighting with the weeds. </em>This happens when both fight for the nutrients in the soil. This is part of nature which they adapt to wherein only the strong one survives.
