Read the excerpt from the general prolgue to the canterbury tales. the pardon-seller’s hair was yellow as wax, and sleekly hanging, like a hank of flax. in meagre clusters hung what hair he had; over his shoulders a few strands were spread, but they lay thin, in rat’s tails, one by one. as for a hood, for comfort he wore none, for it was stowed away in his knapsack. save for a cap, he rode with head all bare, hair loose; he thought it was the dernier cri. he had big bulging eyes, just like a hare. he’d sewn a veronica on his cap. his knapsack lay before him, on his lap, chockful of pardons, all come hot from rome. his voice was like a goat’s, plaintive and thin. which statement best describes the narrator’s perception of the pardon-seller in this excerpt? the unfavorable descriptions of the pardon-seller’s physical appearance imply that the narrator thinks poorly of this character. though the narrator describes the pardon-seller’s appearance in negative terms, he also makes it clear that he really likes this man. the favorable descriptions of the pardon-seller’s physical appearance imply that the narrator thinks highly of this character. though the narrator describes the pardon-seller’s appearance in positive terms, he also makes it clear that he really dislikes this man.

Select the correct text in the passage. which two lines in this excerpt from shakespeare's romeo and juliet foreshadow the tragic fate of romeo and juliet? friar laurence: so smile the heavens upon this holy act, that after hours with sorrow chide us not! romeo: amen, amen! but come what sorrow can, it cannot countervail the exchange of joy that one short minute gives me in her sight: do thou but close our hands with holy words, then love-devouring death do what he dare; it is enough i may but call her mine. friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite: therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
