Using the who, what, where, when, why, and how questioning strategy, write the letter of the phrase that best summarizes the mea

ning of the following passage from “The Prologue” to The Canterbury Tales.
 He was an easy man in penance-giving / Where he could hope to make a decent living; / It’s a sure sign whenever gifts are given / To a poor Order that a man’s well shriven, / And should he give enough he knew in verity / The penitent repented in sincerity.
 a. He gave out easy penances and absolution in exchange for gifts.
 b. He gave out easy penances in exchange for gifts wherever he thought he could get gifts out of the confessors.
 c. He gave out easy penances and absolution in exchange for gifts wherever he thought he could get gifts out of the confessors. He knew that if he exacted a large enough price for the sin that the penitent person would truly feel sorry for what he’d done.
 d. He gave out easy penances and absolution in exchange for gifts wherever he thought he could get gifts out of the confessors. He knew that if he exacted a large enough price for the sin that the penitent person would truly feel sorry for what he’d done. In fact, whenever a poor group of friars receives gifts you can be sure that someone has just received absolution for his sins.

Answer:

a. He gave out easy penances and absolution in exchange for gifts.

Explanation:

"When April comes with his sweet, fragrant showers, which pierce the dry ground of March, and bathe every root of every plant in a sweet liquid, then people desire to go on pilgrimages."

Thus begins the famous opening to The Canterbury Tales. The narrator (a constructed version of Chaucer himself) is first discovered staying at the Tabard Inn in Southwark (in London), when a company of twenty-nine people descend on the inn, preparing to go on a pilgrimage to Canterbury. After talking to them, he agrees to join them on their pilgrimage.
