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.

The above question wants to assess your writing ability and persuasiveness. In that case, I can't write the speech for you, but I'll show you how to write one.

First, you must know that a loyalist was a person who supported the British government during the American Revolution. In this case, one loyalist was against the independence of the colonies and thought that Americans should continue to be subjects of the English crown.
