Correct answer choice is :


C) Fortune is controlled by God.


Step-by-step explanation:


The Monk's Tale is one of The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. The Monk's tale to the different pioneers is a set of 17 short tales, on the theme of failure. The Monk, in his introduction, demands to have a number of these stories in his cell, but the Knight holds him after only 17, assuming that they have had quite a depression. The method of the stories within the tale is changed in many early documents, and if the more modern stories were at the end of his tale, Chaucer may wish to submit that the Knight has another impulse for preventing than sheer monotony.
