Read these lines describing the Friar from the General Prologue to The Canterbury Tales and answer the question. His tippet was stuck always full of knives
And pins, to give to young and pleasing wives.
And certainly he kept a merry note:
Well could he sing and play upon the rote.
At balladry he bore the prize away.
His throat was white as lily of the May;
Yet strong he was as ever champion.
In towns he knew the taverns, every one,
And every good host and each barmaid too-
Better than begging lepers, these he knew.

Which best identifies what makes this passage ironic?

As a member of clergy, The Friar is expected to beg on behalf of the poor.
As a member of clergy, The Friar is an example of Christian values.
The Friar’s friendliness with members of general society causes him to lose his objectivity when people confess to him.
