Answer 2

Answer:

A) He was too deeply in love.

Explanation:

The squire is one of the characters that we meet in The Canterbury Tales. We learn that he is the Knight's son. Although he is reasonably talented, we learn that he is quite young. Therefore, the squire is delicate, sweet and romantic. He dances and writes poetry, and he falls in love deeply, which keeps him up at night. The squire serves to illustrate youth.
