The phrase 'Morning Star of Renaissance\" refers to–  \n(a) Langland (b) Geoffrey Chaucer  \n1. Who says, \"ready to wend on mypilgrimage/To Canterbury with full devout heart\"?  \n(a) The Monk (b) Geffrey  \n(c) The Knight (d) The parson  \nP.G.T. Delhi, 2015  \nAns- (b)  \nIn the spring, pilgrims long to go to shrines in far away places and especially from all over England they go to Canterbury. Theirpurpose is to thank St. Thomas, whom they credit with having helped them when they were sick. At the Tabard the reader meets the narrator, a pilgrim named Geffrey who is similar but not identical to the poet Chaucer. Geffrey, having arrived at the Tabard \"ready to wend on my pilgrimage/To Canterbury with full devout heart\", eagerly meets his fellow pilgrims. They are29 ofthem in all.  \n2. The pilgrims in the Canterbury Tales were going tothankSt. Thomas for–  \n(a) helping them when they were sick  \n(b) providing them wealth and happiness  \n(c) aroutine pilgrimage  \n(d) praying to absolve an impending danger  \nP.G.T. Delhi, 2015 Ans- (a)  \nAmong the miracles credited to St. Thomas were many examples of healing thesick. Sometimes heseemed to heal people from a distance, if they prayed to him, and in such cases it was usual to make the pilgrimage later to the actual shrine, to give an offering and thanks to the saint there. Chaucer's opening lines in the \"The Canterbury Tales\" mention that as a motive for his pilgrims'journey.  \n3. In which of thefollowing Canterbury Tales doesthereference to young Theban Wariors come?  \n(a) The Knight's Tale (b) TheSquire's Tale (c) TheMiller's Tale (d) TheFriar's Tale  \nP.G.T. Delhi, 2015  \nAns- (a)  \n\"The Knight's Tale\" is the first tale from Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales. The Knight, tells a long, involved tale of love from ancient Greece about two knights, Arcite and Palamon. They were captured in a war between Thebes and Athens and thrown into an Athenian prison to spend the rest of their lives there.  \n(c) Whclif (d) Diderot  \nP.G.T. Delhi, 2015  \nAns- (b)  \nThere is a trend among some scholars to see Chaucer as a precursor to Renaissance. He is unarguably a transitional figure though heis one who lives during a timeof great social change in economics, vernacular language acceptance, and spiritual attitudes. Although he was not the part of the Renaissance itself, which we might date in England by-  \n(a) Caxton's introduction of the printing press in England in 1476.  \n(b) The rise of the first Tudor monarch in 1487.  \n(c) The Protestant Reformation of1517 A.D.  \n(d) The linguistic changes in the 'Great Vowel Shift' that bring about Early Modern English by 1450 A.D.  \nGeoffrey Chaucer, born approximately in 1343 in London. He was a court poet and wrote it for the refined and cultured readers. He did not write for people who wish to get disturbed by painful reminders of Famines, Plagues or discontent. Thus, he does not reflect the dark side of the age he lived in. It was Chaucer who kept Latin and French aside and preferred wrting in English.  \n5. In thePrologue to Canterbury Tales, which characteris  \nfond of hunting and riding?  \n(a) Squire (b) TheFriar  \n(c) Yeoman (d) The Monk  \nP.G.T. Delhi, 2015  \nAns- (d)  \nChaucer presents a corrupt Monk who loves the good life and finds more pleasure in hunting than studying in the cloister. The Monk's weakness for good food and expensive clothing and his love for hunting violate the monastic vows of poverty and simplicity. He is riding asleek berry brown horse on his way to Canterbury. The bells attached to his horse's bridle tinkle pleasantly with the wind.  \nEnglish 5 T.G.T./P.G.T.  \n6.
