      A Arnold Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Sydney Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Johnson Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D More than one of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Mathew Arnold said that Chaucer is not one of the great classics. His poetry transcends and effaces, easily and without effort, all the romance-poetry of Catholic Christendom; it transcends and effaces all the English poetry contemporary with it, it transcends and effaces all the English poetry subsequent to it down to the age of Elizabeth.
