Answer 1

Answer:

C) It personifies Death

Explanation:

From this summary of The Pardoner's tale from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, it is narrated that three young men are drinking together in a tavern when they hear that Death who has been killing thousands of people in a plague has taken the life of one of their friends. They decide to live for one another and work together.

It is accurate to say that this summary is filled with irony because it personifies Death.

Death here is described as a killer who has killed thousands and claiming the life of one of their friend.

Recall that personification is giving human attributes to an inanimate object.
