8 0

Answer:

By revealing the clergy's vindictive abuse of power.

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.

Answer:

C). Life can be challenging, but sometimes dreams come true.

What is theme of the poem "The Self-Unseeing"? A. Memories provide opportunities for gratitude. B. Let the past be the past. C.
Nata [24]

Answer:

The theme of the poem is A. Memories provide opportunities for gratitude.

Explanation:

But let's face it: it is a sad gratitude. The speaker in the poem "The Self-Unseeing", by Thomas Hardy, is looking back at a childhood memory. The memory itself is happy and inspires gratitude. His father playing the fiddle, his mother sitting by the fire... Those were joyful times! However, there is some regret as the poem ends. The speaker realizes he did not pay attention to the happy moments while he was living them, back when he was younger. He seems to resent himself for that. Yet, his appreciation is now fully expressed through the poem.
