Which detail from chancer's "the monk's tale" best demonstrates that fortune is a "blind property" that no one should trust? a. julius ceaser rose up because of wisdom, bravery, and intelligence b. king belshazzar became the ruler after his powerful father became king c. samsons enemies blinded him but he was able to destroy them before he died d. queen zenobia enjoyed vast power but her enemies conquered her in the end

The correct answer is:

d. Queen Zenobia enjoyed vast power but her enemies conquered her in the end

Zenobia was the Queen of the Palmyrene Empire from 267–272 A.D. Under her rule, Palmyra expanded from modern Syria all the way from Iraq through Turkey and into Egypt. She had a lot of  influence, anyway her enemies defeated her at last. Her ending is uncertain, they say say that she never made it to Rome, having either starved or poisoned herself on the journey back. A big proof on how Fortune is uncertain, everything that goes up eventually must come down.

the pronoun reference replaces a noun, but you have to make sure there's no room for confusion.

in the first sentence "her" could be referring to shely or to the sister. the answer there is "shelly called her sister and told her about the new baby."

in the second sentence "it" could be referring to the roof or the floor. the answer there is "since the roof leaks on the family room floor, we need to repair the roof."
