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.

Answer:

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.

lyudmila [28]

Answer: Because Sweet Nothings is an expository piece of writing.

Explanation:

Kowalski, the author of Sweet Nothings presents evidence to support weight loss and refute weight loss because her writing is an expository piece of writing.

An expository piece of writing just as the name implies is one that exposes readers to a particular idea or topic. It’s purpose is to inform about and describe a particular subject or idea.

Kowalski, the author of Sweet Nothings may have been expected to stick to a particular side of the subject, that is either present evidence that supports weight loss or the one that refutes weight loss.

Why does connell reveal the main conflict until a good deal of the story has passed?
Xelga [282]
This is a good observation. The General reveals to Rainsford that Rainsford himself will be the hunted in page 11-15 of the story. So, your observation is correct. There is a delay in introducing the main conflict. The main reason for this is to keep Rainsford in suspense and study his reaction.

Read the excerpt from The Canterbury Tales.
Brums [2.3K]

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.
