b) The Prioress is more dainty.

Explanation:

The Prioress and the Wife of Bath are two female characters described in The Canterbury Tales by Chaucer. The two women share some commonalities. However, they are also quite different. The Wife of Bath is a woman of great experience. She has been married several times, has travelled around the world and is quite independent economically. This does not fit with the stereotype of a wife of the time.

The Prioress, on the other hand, also does not fit with the stereotype of a nun. The Prioress is more dainty and sophisticated in her behaviour. She is educated and aristocratic, and she is quite beautiful. She is interested in secular matters, such as social advancement and has led a sheltered life when compared to the Wife of Bath.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
