Answer:
"Full worthy was he in his liege-lord's war,
And therein had he ridden (none more far)
As well in Christendom as heathenesse,
And honoured everywhere for worthiness.
At Alexandria, he, when it was won;"
Explanation:
The narrator describes the gathering individuals as indicated by their social positions. The pilgrims speak to a various cross-area of fourteenth-century English society.
The line from Chaucer's 'General Prologue' references the feudal social structure of medieval England by describing a knight embodying the period's virtues. This representation mirrors the high standing of knights in the feudal hierarchy.
The line from Chaucer's 'General Prologue' to The Canterbury Tales referencing the feudal social structure of medieval England is: 'A knight there was, and that a worthy man, That from the time that he first began, To riden out, he loved chivalry, Truth and honour, freedom and courtesy.'
This line describes a knight who embodies the virtues of the period: chivalry, truth, honor, freedom, and courtesy. In the feudal system, the knight is a warrior aristocrat who serves his lord (often a more powerful nobleman or the king) as a vassal. He is expected to behave with these virtues and this sophisticated depiction suggests the upper echelons of the feudal hierarchy.

Answer: a. he is humble and does not seek power.
In the world that awaits you, beyond the shores of Lake Waban, no one can say what your true colors will be. But this I do know: You have a first class education from a first class school. And so you need not, probably cannot, live a “paint-by-numbers” life. Decisions are not irrevocable. Choices do come back. And as you set off from Wellesley, I hope that many of you will consider making three very special choices.
The first is to believe in something larger than yourself, to get involved in some of the big ideas of our time. I chose literacy because I honestly believe that if more people could read, write, and comprehend, we would be that much closer to solving so many of the problems that plague our nation and our society.
And early on I made another choice which I hope you’ll make as well. Whether you are talking about education, career, or service, you’re talking about life—and life really must have joy. It’s supposed to be fun!
One of the reasons I made the most important decision of my life, to marry George Bush,3 is because he made me laugh. It’s true, sometimes we’ve laughed through our tears. But that shared laughter has been one of our strongest bonds. Find the joy in life, because as Ferris Bueller4 said on his day off, “Life moves pretty fast; and ya don’t stop and look around once in a while, ya gonna miss it!”
(I am not going to tell George ya clapped more for Ferris than ya clapped for George.)
The third choice that must not be missed is to cherish your human connections: your relationships with family and friends. For several years, you’ve had impressed upon you the importance to your career of dedication and hard work. And, of course, that’s true. But as important as your obligations as a doctor, a lawyer, a business leader will be, you are a human being first. And those human connections—with spouses, with children, with friends—are the most important investments you will ever make.
At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, winning one more verdict, or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a child, a friend, or a parent.
We are in a transitional period right now, fascinating and exhilarating times, learning to adjust to changes and the choices we, men and women, are facing. As an example, I remember what a friend said, on hearing her husband complain to his buddies that he had to babysit. Quickly setting him straight, my friend told her husband that when it’s your own kids, it’s not called babysitting.
Now, maybe we should adjust faster; maybe we should adjust slower. But whatever the era, whatever the times, one thing will never change: fathers and mothers, if you have children, they must come first. You must read to your children. And you must hug your children. And you must love your children. Your success as a family, our success as a society, depends not on what happens in the White House, but on what happens inside your house.

The anecdote about the husband complaining about 'babysitting' his own kids in Barbara Bush's speech primarily illustrates her point about the importance of dedicating oneself to their children. It supports her overall message about prioritizing family and human connections.
In the second-to-last paragraph of Barbara Bush's speech, the anecdote about a husband complaining about having to 'babysit' his own children serves primarily to illustrate the author's claim regarding the value of devoting oneself to one's children. Bush uses this story to underline her point that the responsibilities of parenthood – namely, the time, attention, and care one gives to their children – should not be viewed as a chore or 'babysitting', but rather as a central and indispensable part of life.
The anecdote aligns with the speaker's overall message about the importance of prioritizing family and human connections. In the wider context of her speech, this example helps to emphasize that success is not solely determined by professional achievements, but also by personal relationships and commitments, particularly those within the family.

The word 'glide' can be used in the same way as 'run is to dash' and 'fly is to', as they represent actions that are similar but differ in intensity or speed.
In the analogy 'Run is to dash as fly is to,' the relationship between 'run' and 'dash' is that they both represent actions that are similar but differ in intensity or speed. To find a word that is similar to 'fly' but represents a different level of intensity or speed, we can consider options that involve different modes of transportation or different ways of moving through the air. A possible answer could be 'glide.'
