In the "wife of bath’s tale" prologue, she claims that her education is derived from her marriages rather than conventional schooling. which lines from her story most effectively suggest that the wife of bath may have more knowledge and worldly experience than she claims? (select all that apply.) the canterbury tales she’d journeyed to jerusalem three times; strange rivers she had crossed in foreign climes; she’d been to rome and also to boulogne, to galicia for saint james and to cologne, and she knew much of wandering by the way. "to be poor yet contented, i assert is to be rich, though having not a shirt. the one who covets is the poorer man, for he would have that which he never can." "how well the poet wise, the florentine named dante, speaks about just what i mean, and this is how he rhymes it in his story: ‘of men who climb their family trees for glory, few will excel, for it is by god’s grace we gain nobility and not by race.’" "for nobleness, as says valerius, consider tullius hostilius: though poor, he rose to noble heights. look in boethius or seneca, and when you do, don’t doubt the truth of what you read: the noble is the man of noble deed."

Read the following excerpt from "dark tower" by claude mckay before you choose your answer. "we shall not always plant while others reap the golden increment of bursting fruit, nor always countenance, abject and mute, that lesser men should hold their brothers cheap; not everlastingly while others sleep shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute, not always bend to some more subtle brute. we were not made eternally to weep. the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark, white stars, is no less lovely being dark; and there are buds that cannot bloom at all in light, but crumple, piteous, and fall. so in the dark we hid the heart that bleeds, and wait, and tend our agonizing needs." in context, the expression "the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark,/ white stars, is no less lovely being dark; " is best interpreted as a. the light of the stars overpowers the black of night b. the black of night overpowers the light of the stars c. black and white contribute equally to the beauty of the night sky d. black and white continuously compete for prominence in the night sky
