c. Chanticleer is telling the fox he (Chanticleer) will not fall for the fox's flattery a second time.

Explanation:

The Nun's Priest's Tale is one of The Canterbury Tales by the Middle English poet Geoffrey Chaucer.

Characters mentioned in this exercise:

Chanticleer: a chicken

The fox

Pertelote: a hen

In this excerpt from the text, the speaker is Chanticleer and he is telling the fox he (Chanticleer) will not fall for the fox's flattery a second time, therefore, option c is the correct answer. At this particular moment, Chanticleer has flown out of the fox’s mouth and into a high tree, and the fox is trying to convince the chicken to come down. However, when the fox meet Chanticleer for the first time, he (the fox) flattered the chicken's magnificent signing and, in order to catch the chicken, the fox led him to close his eyes and sing. Chanticleer fell for the flattery and sang, and as while he was distracted, the fox grabbed him and took him into the woods. Chanticleer managed to escape and climbed a tree. And now the fox tries to flatter him again, but he answers that he is not going to fall for that trick again (If you beguile me, having done so once, You shall no more, with any flattery, Cause me to sing and close up either eye) because he has learned the lesson: never to trust a flatterer. (For he who shuts his eyes when he should see, And wilfully, God let him ne'er be free!)

Option a is not correct because the moment in which Chanticleer speaks to Pertelote about his bad dream happens before the one in the excerpt.

Option b is not correct because Pertelote is not present in the moment of the excerpt.

Option d is not correct because Chanticleer is the speaker of the excerpt, not the fox.

because of all the immigration, america became one big melting pot. the diversity of cultures from all over the world made america somewhat divided as well. people that immigrated stayed with their kind, and their traditions, while native born americans stayed with their kind and their traditions. normally, people born in american scorned the immigrants as well. the new religions also divided america. in summary, it took away from the american culture and identified america as the "melting pot."

Iwill only mark brainliest if you get it correct. read the following prompt and type your response in the space provided. examine the diagram and text: you see water all around you every day as lakes, rivers, ice, rain and snow. there are also vast amounts of water that are unseen—water existing in the ground. and even though groundwater is unseen, it is moving below your feet right now. as part of the water cycle, groundwater is a major contributor to flow in many streams and rivers and has a strong influence on river and wetland habitats for plants and animals. people have been using groundwater for thousands of years and continue to use it today, largely for drinking water and irrigation. life on earth depends on groundwater just as it does on surface water. there are rivers flowing below our feet … a myth? have you ever heard that there are rivers of water flowing underground? do you think it’s true? actually, it is pretty much a myth. even though there are some caverns, lava, and ice tubes, and horizontal springs that can carry water, the vast majority of underground water occupies the space between rocks and subsurface material. some rivers, such as the alpha river in northern florida, usa, can disappear underground during low flow periods. generally, water underground is more like water in a sponge. it occupies the space is between soil and rock particles. at a certain depth below the land surface, the spaces between the soil and rock particles can be totally filled with water, resulting in an aquifer from which groundwater can be pumped into used by people. courtesy of the u. s. geological survey is there missing or extraneous information in this diagram? are all of the details in the text relevant and accurate? explain using details from the text.
