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.

If you were giving a speech on illiteracy in the United States, which of the following points would you discuss last?
Rainbow [258]
I would say D. because all of the others are basically answering the entirety of the speech. If you would discuss ways to increase the literacy rates in the U.S. you would need to go over it last after you explain why the U.S. is so illiterate.
