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.

Why don't the other Cyclopses help Polyphemus after Odysseus gouges out his eye?
Verdich [7]
I remember that story and I think it was because the things that he was saying was misleading because he said "help NO ONE IS POKING MY EYE" or something like that and the others just ignored that.
