In Canterbury Tales, who is the Knight?

1. The Parson

2. The Merchant

3. The Monk

4. The Wife of Bath

The correct answer is: The Parson

In Canterbury Tales, the Knight is a noble and honorable character who serves as the main protagonist of the story. He represents the virtues of chivalry, bravery, and nobility. Option B, the Merchant, is a wealthy and well-traveled character, but does not possess the same qualities as the Knight. Option C, the Monk, is also a well-respected character but does not fit the description of a knight. Option D, the Wife of Bath, is a female character and not a Knight in the story. Therefore, the correct answer is A, the Parson.
