Read the excerpt from the general prolgue to the canterbury tales.
in the king’s service he’d fought valiantly, and travelled far; no man as far as he in christian and in heathen lands as well, and ever honoured for his ability. he was at alexandria when it fell, often he took the highest place at table over the other foreign knights in prussia; he’d raised in lithuania and russia, no christian of his rank fought there more often. which statement best describes how the knight is characterized in this excerpt?
he is described as brave and noble.
he is described as angry and violent.
he is described as sad and lonely.
he is described as active and funny.

The correct answer is "He is described as brave and noble".

Not only in this excerpt, but all throughout the narration of "The Canterbury Tales", the depiction of the Knight is highly positive. Multiple mentions of his military achievements, loyalty, kidness and politeness are displayed in the story. The Knight is also complementary presented as a humble man who in spite of his reputation, never calls attention to himself nor does he speak badly of anyone arround him.

Hope this helps!
