Answer:

double-talk

Explanation:

According to the given excerpt from the General Prolgue to the Canterbury Tales, the author talks about a person who makes a living out of swindling country priests or some "backwoods parson" using relics.

It is noted that he would make more money than any parris priest has seen in two months through his double-talk.

Therefore, the word which best characterises the pardon-seller as a swindler is "double-talk*.

Who knoes de wae to dese questions, if u do not knoe de answer to dese questions I shall spit on de fake queen :3
Kipish [7]
1. Inside quotation marks
2. It really comes from the imagination, just imagine yourself in the writing you are making, it helps me a lot
3. Depends on what kind of writing it is, if it is a graded essay, I recommend a lot of varied transition words and connecting words to other sentences or paragraphs, but if it is just a chill kinda writing just add a lot of words that mean the same thing you are trying to say, or as I call them "smart sounding words"
4. It's important to use a personal touch because it makes your writing unique to others, for example if you were to write a book and I were to write a book about the same topic, we wouldn't have the same book word for word, we would have our own personal touch to make it unique.
5.one way to add humor into your writing that I use personally is making a character sarcastic, it lightens the mood if your story is more on the darker side.

I don't know if this is a test if it is and it's multiple choice just send me the choices and I'll be happy to help you! -k
