Hi there!

The statement that best describes the satire in the excerpt from The Canterbury Tales  is that Chaucer criticizes the idea that forgiveness is available for purchase.

In pieces of literature, performing arts or dances, satire is a genre that is used to ridicule or shame someone through wittiness and in form of humour. Satire is usually meant to be humorous.

This can be seen in the excerpt with: “All for a penny! Out now with your purse!” Chaucer expresses humorously what he thinks about churches.  

Hope this helps!
