Chaucer utilizes parody in his portrayal of the Pardoner to censure the Church. The Pardoner's sermon against avarice cleverly diverges from his overstated covetousness. Chaucer makes such an unnecessarily ravenous character to attract consideration regarding genuine debasement in the Church and to realize change.

Chaucer uses satire in his characterization of the Pardoner to criticize the Church. The Pardoner’s sermon against greed humorously contrasts with his exaggerated greediness. Chaucer creates such an excessively greedy character to draw attention to real corruption in the Church and to bring about change.

How do paragraphs 7-8 contribute to the overall structure of the article?
Shalnov [3]

Answer: D. They reveal that Belgium had false motivations for colonizing Africa.

Possible Answer: A. They reveal the central goal of European colonies in Africa.

Explanation: Paragraph 7 explains how Leopold plans of “abolishing slavery” and “establishing harmony” was all a scam. Leading to paragraph 8 revealing that Leopold was only focused on his personal business venture. D sounds like it’s the correct answer because his motivations were false, but the other European colonies were also focused on growing their power, so A could possibly be the correct answer too.
