Answer:
1. It is hubris or pride. Upon reaching adulthood and hearing the prophecy that he will murder his father and take his mother as his own wife, he attempts to flee the fate the gods have laid out before him by leaving Corinth. Unknowingly, he places himself upon the path that will lead to the prophecy coming true.
2. Both were attempting to prevent a terrible prophecy from coming true, Each prophecy involved the murder of a father by his son. Both Lauis' and Oedipus' behavior demonstrates that each believed he could use his free will to escape his fate
.
3. Trying to stop a divinely ordained murder investigation and neglecting to undergo cleansing rituals are examples of acts of hubris respectively committed by Jocasta and Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta tries to stop her second husband, King Oedipus, in his investigation of the murder of her first husband, King Laius. She does so because she realizes that something horrifying and humiliating is about to be revealed. But that is not her call to make since the Apolline oracle states that the pestilence in Thebes will end only with the identification and punishment of the guilty in Laius' murder.
Additionally, Oedipus neglects to follow proper purification procedures after killing five people. He is supposed to admit his crime and accept his punishment. Instead, he goes to Thebes, defeats the monstrous Sphinx and marries the older, recently widowed Theban queen. But he does absolutely nothing to carry out cleansing rituals regarding the recent, unsolved slaughter of King Laius and his escort party. These two lapses are arrogant breaches of the conduct code between gods and mortals.

Explanation:
Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" is a collection of stories told by a group of pilgrims on their way to Canterbury. The given excerpt is from "Prologue to the Pardoner's Tale" where the clergy talks of his 'job' of pardoning people but as a means to profit from them.
In the given excerpt, the pardoner reveals how he used his clergy position to 'attack' those who criticize him. His victims <em>"can't escape slander and defamation"</em>, which he admits is <em>"how [he] deals with people who annoy [him]"</em>. This reveals how the pardoner used the guise of being holy and virtuous to attack his enemies or anyone criticizing him. This shows the vindictive abuse of power by the clergy.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
