In The Wife of Bath's Tale, Queen states that one sentence can be used and answered by the Knight, in order to save his life. The question she asks him is: "What do women desire the most?".

The Queen gives the Knight exactly one year and one day to reveal the correct answer.

Explanation:

The Wife of Bath's Tale is one of 24 stories in Canterbury Tales, written by Geoffrey Chaucer. It reveals the role of women in the Late Middle Ages and it refers to female sovereignty, behavior in marriage, love, feminist critique, etc.

In this story, a knight is accused of sexual assault, and his life can be saved if he discovers what women most desire. He met an old witch who offered him help if he does one thing she asks of him.

The answer to the question was: sovereignty over man.

This answer is accepted in court and because of that, the witch demands that the knight marry her. In bed, she asked him if he would want to have an ugly but faithful wife or beautiful but faithless. The Knight said the choice must be hers. After this, the witch became young and beautiful.

Read the excerpt from the war of the worlds. beyond the pit stood the little wedge of people with the white flag at its apex, arrested by these phenomena, a little knot of small vertical black shapes upon the black ground. as the green smoke arose, their faces flashed out pallid green, and faded again as it vanished. then slowly the hissing passed into a humming, into a long, loud, droning noise. slowly a humped shape rose out of the pit, and the ghost of a beam of light seemed to flicker out from it. forthwith flashes of actual flame, a bright glare leaping from one to another, sprang from the scattered group of men. it was as if some invisible jet impinged upon them and flashed into white flame. it was as if each man were suddenly and momentarily turned to fire. then, by the light of their own destruction, i saw them staggering and falling, and their supporters turning to run. which options accurately describe how the author develops the plot in the excerpt? (select all that apply.)the war of the worldsthe narrator does not react at first as he watches the men with the flag and hears the sounds in the pit. his inaction decreases the tension in the plot because the narrator is simply standing by. the narrator does not react at first as he watches the men with the flag and hears the sounds in the pit. his inaction keeps the tension steadily increasing as the narrator comes to realize the men are being killed. the narrator is distracted by his own observations of the men with the white flag and the humming sound, so he doesn't react as quickly as he should when the men are killed, thus extending the tension in the plot. the narrator is attentive to the men with the white flag and the humming sound, so he immediately understands what has happened when the men are killed, increasing the tension in the plot.
