In Tragic Manner I will not lament The griefs of those who stood in high degree
and fell at last with no expedient
To bring them out of their adversity
-Geoffrey Chaucer, The Monk's Tale
Think about the poems you've read in the past. How did they use rhyme and
meter? What specific poetic techniques does this poem use, and what do they
tell you about the age of the poem?

well so many people believe its a sin to be gay or be apart of the lgbtq+ community, but i believe you should be you. don't let people tell you you cant be someone. be who you are because you will be uncomfortable your whole life. be you!

answer: inference

explanation:

an inference can be understood as a conclusion to which a person is able to get based on reasoning. it is the same as a deduction, a guess, an assumption.   in the sentence presented, the conjunction "but" gives the readers an idea of contrast, and, therefore, allows them to induce that despite the opponent's characteristics, andrea had something different that made her win.

boccaccio employs the voice of his narrator dioneo to represent his ideas on the tension between masculinity and femininity.  while dioneo excites the members of the brigata and recognizes women for their unique skills and independent ideas, he concludes the decameron with a story reminiscent of the society from which these young aristocrats escaped, revealing misogynistic overtones.  dioneo boccaccio is able to explore the gender disparity which is inherent in 14th century florentine society.
