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.

hjlf

Answer:

the last lines are put in a bracket because they do not make the thoughts of the poet, and neither do they make the voice of the rain. What they contain, is the observation that the poet made as regards the course the poem is taking.

b)

reck'd or unreck'd means that whether or not you cared for the sound of the rains, if someone listened to the sound made by the rain, if someone didn't listen, whatever the case may be, it does not affect the rains and neither does it affects the poet.
