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.

mrs_skeptik [129]
I think it's Persuasive..because it appeals to our emotions by getting us to agree with them, and it uses reason and logic to do so, and often uses statistics....and there's almost always a clear statement of what they want us to believe at the beginning
