The correct answer is Chaucer criticizes the notion that divine forgiveness

depends on giving money.

Explanation:

In this excerpt from The Canterbury Tales, the author Geoffrey Chaucer indirectly refers to the sale of indulgence or the way priests and other religious leaders pardoned people for their sins based on money. This is mentioned in "My holy pardon here can save you all... as you make offerings of gold and silver coin..." because he illustrates how money or offerings were a condition for forgiveness and for people to go to heaven "you shall enter to the bliss of heaven". Moreover, this is a satire because Chaucer uses humor to criticize the practices of the Catholic church.

Korolek [52]

According to APA style regarding parenthetical citation, you will need to use the surnames of both authors separated by the symbol (&) and followed by the year for example (Robinson & Pearl, 2004) in case you want to refer to one written book by both authors. On the other hand, if you are referring to two different books and considering they share the same surname, you will have to include the initials of the authors, the year of each book and separate both authors using a semicolon. In this case, you will have to use the following format ( E. Barret Browning, 1990; R. Browning,1981)
