Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from The Canterbury Tales.
In Flanders there was once a company Of youngsters wedded to such sin and folly As gaming, dicing, brothels, and taverns, Where, night and day, with harps, lutes, and citherns, They spend their time in dicing and in dancing, Eating and drinking more than they can carry; And with these abominable excesses They offer up the vilest sacrifices . . .
Which word best characterizes the young people in this passage?
A. humble
B. nervous
C. sensitive
D. immoral
Answer:
The correct answer is letter D. immoral.
Explanation:
By definition, an immoral person is someone whose behavior is not in conformity with society's notions of moral, honesty, and decency. From the description in this excerpt of "The Canterbury Tales", those young people are not in the least behaving decently. They spend their days driven by gluttony, lust, greed, and even laziness. They show no concern with honesty, with making their money through hard work. They do not control their impulses and desires, but give in to them as if there is no tomorrow. They are, by social standards, immoral.
