Read the excerpt below and answer the question. sweet and gentle ladies, this day has been devoted, so far as i can see, to the doings of kings and sultans and people of that sort; and therefore, so as not to place too great a distance between us, i want to tell you of a marquis, whose actions, even though things turned out well for him in the end, were remarkable not so much for their munificence as for their senseless brutality. (p. 784) which option identifies an explicit meaning of the above excerpt? a. the members of the brigata enjoy telling lighthearted stories. b. dioneo, the narrator, is concerned about pleasing his audience. c. most of the stories have featured kind and generous noblemen. d. dioneo's story will be about a marquis.

The correct answer is D. Dioneo's story will be about marquis. Please mark brainliest:) Thank you
