    There came at nightfall to that hostelry

    Some nine and twenty in a company

    Of sundry persons who had chanced to fall

    In fellowship, and pilgrims were they all

    That toward Canterbury town would ride. (The Canterbury Tales; "General Prologue," lines 23-27)

    Based on its context in the description of the pilgrims, what does the narrator mean by hostelry?

    group

    inn

    fountain

    stable

    Answer:

    inn

    Explanation:

    In "The Canterbury Tales," the author Geoffrey Chaucer makes use of the word hostelry to indicate that a diverse group of pilgrims arrives at an establishment which provides food, drink and accommodation, particularly for travelers. Thus, in the evening the pigrims stop at an inn in Southwark before they continue their journey to Canterbury.
