The statement that best describes the satire in the excerpt is:

  • Chaucer criticizes the notion that divine forgiveness depends on giving money.

<h3>What is satire?</h3>

Satire is the act of criticizing a bad situation or event using humorous lines of reasoning. This is exactly what Chaucer accomplishes in this excerpt.

He criticized the materialistic aspect of religion where many thought that God was impressed by their financial donations and would thus overlook their sins. In a humorous manner, Chaucer tells the people to come with their gold and have their sins forgiven.

Which is a correct analysis of the sentence?
Vladimir [108]
This is the original sentence: <span>In a feeding frenzy, the pigeons descended upon the breadcrumbs that the kindly old man on the park bench continued to toss.

The correct answer is the prepositional phrase "on the park bench" acts as an adjectival phrase.
A is incorrect because a prepositional phrase cannot be a gerund phrase too. B is incorrect because a prepositional phrase cannot be a verb phrase as well. D is incorrect because 'to toss' is not a prepositional phrase, but rather an infinitive.

The phrase pathetic fallacy is a literary term for the attribution of human emotion and conduct to things found in nature that are not human.
