The speaker in the wanderer believes that wisdom comes to those who are not craven, or a. cowardly b. studious c. ignorant d. foolhardy at one point in the pardoner's tale, the three rioters hold an informal discussion, or a a. cask b. crone c. parley d. brooch

The answer to the first question is B. foolhardy

The word craven already means cowardly. (If the questions is asking for a synonym for the word craven, the answer will be A. If it's asking for another adjective that completes the idea in the poem, then it's B.)

In the poem, the speaker talks about the wise man: one who waits and ponders patiently.

'A wise man must be patient,  

He must never be too impulsive

nor too hasty of speech'

Thus, wisdom does not come to those who are craven or foolhardy. A wise man is prudent and careful, the oppostie of foolhardy.

The answer for the second question is C. Parley.

Parley is a type of discussion, a negotiation, in which the intention is to end a fight or an argument and/or to reach an agreement.
