Question 3 of 10 What is the most likely reason "The Monk's Tale" is full of parables?
A. Parables, unlike prior forms of storytelling, tended to focus on
broad themes rather than on morals.
B. Parables resembled the teachings of Jesus, with which most
audiences in Chaucer's time were familiar.
C. Parables were starting to replace fables as the popular form of
moral storytelling in the 14th century.
D. Parables were considered the highest form of art in Chaucer's
style, so the author reserved them for the most religious pilgrim.
