Gualtier's subjects first doubt Griselda's worthiness as a bride because she is from a lower social class. Option A is correct.

The Decameron is a collection of novellas written by the 14th-century Italian writer Giovanni Boccaccio. In that collection you can find the story with these two characters, Gultier and Griselda. Actually, it is the tenth story in the collection. Gualtieri is a wealthy marquis who has to get married so that he would marry a poor, but good girl from the village named Griselda. She is a great wife, but at first she is not totally accepted by the subjects because she belongs to a lower class.

serve the people! ,” smoothly translated by julia lovell, offers an initial sample of yan lianke’s writing to an english-speaking audience. a bluntly drawn, mildly erotic fable, it teases mao zedong by poking fun at a true believer who obeys the chairman’s precepts too literally. to a western sensibility, the broad strokes of yan lianke’s humor would seem to pose little risk of inciting rebellion, whether of the flesh or of the body politic. but then, part of the book’s attraction is that it doesn’t have a western sensibility. it lets the reader see — or rather, intuit — what jokes chinese officials don’t consider funny, and how very little it takes for a writer to be branded an incendiary in 21st-century china, more than three decades after the death of mao, a decade after the death of deng xiaoping and seven years since china entered the world trade organization, a move that would seem to signal a willingness (however wary) to mingle with the rest of the world.
