Explanation:

In the general prologue of Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales", the narrator is giving a general introduction of the travelers along with their vocations before they proceed with their own tales. The following excerpt

"But he looked hollow and went soberly.

Right threadbare was his overcoat; for he

Had got him yet no churchly benefice…" is a description of the clerk, who according to the narrator, is from Oxford. But he hasn't got the education that will enable him to get a proper office job nor does he have any job or income from the church. So, he is poor and his coat is the example of his condition "threadbare".

i would say c, admiration because the narrator related to the main character and she, too, once felt ashamed about her culture and wished to be an american girl to impress a boy. she felt admiration because her mom prepared her favorite foods when her and robert's (the guy she liked) family all came together and had a family reunion.
