Answer:

A) An epic poem.

C) A framed narative

Step-by-step explanation:

The Canterbury Tales is a frame narrative, or a story recounted around another story or stories. The edge of the story opens with a get-together of individuals at the Tabard Inn in London who are getting ready for their voyage to the place of worship of St. Becket in Canterbury. This is a yearly event, and Chaucer is among the general population getting ready for the adventure. The Host of the motel recommends that they all alternate telling a story as they travel. Whoever tells the best story, to be made a decision by the Host, will get a free meal upon their arrival.
