Help with The Wife of Bath’s Tale.?

14. Based on the character of the Wife of Bath and her tale, what do you think was Chaucer’s perspective on the state of women and their condition?

Women were smart and worthy of the same authority as men.<My answer

Women needed to set an example of piousness for men.

Women were angelic creatures who could not harbor lust or vice.

Women were too often victims of abuses by their husbands.

15. In “The Wife of Bath's Tale,” while the knight is returning to the castle, he sees young maidens dancing in the woods. When he rides up, he finds only the old woman. What can you infer about the woman from these events?

She is blind and did not see him coming or she would have escaped.

She is an elf or fairy, and she has transformed herself into an old woman.

She was too old and unable to slip away with the younger ladies.

She was sent by the queen to meet him in order to help him find the answer.

Not sure about the last one thanks for any help.
