Choose the quote that best captures how women were viewed when

Answer:

The quotation that best reflects the perception of women during Chaucer's time in the 14th century is:

4)That’s quite close to the truth, in my opinion, / A man can most effectively win us over / through flattery. / To cater to our whims, create a fuss, / ensnares us all, both the best and the worst.

Explanation:

In "The Canterbury Tales,” Geoffrey Chaucer uses "The Wife of Bath's Tale" to illustrate that flattery was the way women were perceived. Even today, many women appreciate flattery more than honesty. Numerous women have been led astray by men’s empty flattering words. Yet, I cannot fault them; Eve was also flattered into thinking she was equal to God. That serpentine seduction to be equal to God satisfied her more than her patience and obedience to God's directions. In essence, throughout history, both women and some men have been attracted to flattery.
