Question

select the correct answer.
what type of story does the nuns priest tell?
a. an anecdote
b. a parable
c. a fable
d. a biblical tale

Explanation:

The Nun's Priest's Tale from The Canterbury Tales features talking animals (Chanticleer the rooster and Pertelote the hen) that convey a moral lesson, which is the defining trait of a fable. An anecdote is a short personal story, a parable uses human characters to teach a moral, and a biblical tale draws from religious scripture, none of which match this story.

Answer:

C. a fable
