Which of these adjectives does not describe John in the Miller’s Tale?
- A Astute
- B Old
- C Jealous
- D Foolish
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The adjective "astute" does not describe John in the Miller's Tale because throughout the story, John is portrayed as gullible and easily fooled. He falls for Nicholas's trickery and believes his false prophecy about a coming flood. This shows that John lacks astuteness or shrewdness in his judgment and decision-making.
