Answer:
C. By revealing the clergy's vindictive abuse of power.
Explanation:
Satirizing is a literary technique that writers use to express opinions or let their characters speak in such a way that ridicules others. This allows the criticizing or at times humorously critiquing any moral value, or vices.
The given excerpt is from 'The Pardoner's Prologue' of Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales". These lines from the prologue present the vindictive language the clergy used in his teaching at the pulpit. He admits <em>"I can sting with my tongue; and when I preach I sting so hard"</em>, using language that is<em> "slander and defamation"</em>. He continues <em>"I spit out venom, under guise Of piety, and seem sincerely pious"</em>. All these languages show <u>the clergy's vindictive abuse of power which he thinks is ordained to him as a preacher or leader of the church</u>.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
I'd say B, seems most likely . Hope that helps

Answer:
After Johnny kills Bob Sheldon in self-defense, he and Pony travel to Windrixville, where they hide out in an abandoned church on Jay Mountain and wait until things settle down back home. When Dally comes up to visit them, he takes the boys out to eat at Dairy Queen. After their meal, Johnny announces that he plans on turning himself in to the police, which upsets Dally, who drives the boys back to their hideout. As soon as they arrive back at the abandoned church, they discover that it is on fire and learn that there are children trapped inside the building. A man standing outside the burning building quickly explains the situation to the boys, and Pony immediately takes the blame for starting the church fire. Pony tells Johnny that they must have dropped a lit cigarette or something which caused the old church to ignite. Pony and Johnny proceed to enter the burning church and save all the children before the building collapses. Tragically, a flaming beam falls on Johnny and breaks his back, leaving him in critical condition.
