<u>Answer</u>:
The parables in the monk's tale tell us about the intentions of the monk that the Monk is lost in his own preaching or speech.
<u>Explanation</u>:
“Parable” is a short fiction story that illustrates or teaches a moral or religious value associated with it.
‘The Monk’s tale’ is a series of tragic stories which teach that one should not blindly trust prosperity as one’s fate keep changing.

Answer:
The kind of error that occurs is:
B. a pronoun shift error.
Explanation:
Take a look at the following sentence:
"One could have done better if we had studied harder."
See how the sentence begins by using "one" and then suddenly shifts to "we"? This is an example of a pronoun shift error. The pronoun "we" does not agree with "one".
Let's analyze another example:
"Someone is knocking; and they seem to be in a hurry."
Although that is a common structure in colloquial speech, it is incorrect. "Someone" is a third-person singular word, so the pronouns that refer to it should be "he" or "she". "They" is a third-person plural pronoun. Therefore, this example too shows a pronoun shift error.
