What is implied about the prioress in these lines from chaucer's prologue to the canterbury tales? she was at pains to counterfeit the look of courtliness, and stately manners took, and would be held worthy of reverence. a. she made great efforts to look presentable in high society. b. she believed that her good looks would earn her great popularity. c. she believed that courtly manners would earn her great respect. d. she was not comfortable living the austere life of a nun.

A. She made great efforts to look presentable in high society.

The Prioress is one of the main characters of The Canterbury Tales, named  Madame Eglantine.

The prioress in this story is a picture of contradictions. A prioress is supposed to be pious and humble, but in the story, Madame Eglantine shows otherwise.  She is unique having a large forehead and a small mouth. She wears expensive clothes and she carries a bright coral beaded rosary instead of a plain black one.

Her behavior is confusing, too.  

So what is implied about the prioress in Chaucer's prologue is that she made great efforts to look presentable in high society.
