To answer this, we can return to the text itself to determine what is the best answer. We can also use historical data to help us understand what a pardoner was. Pardoners were people that sold pardons and indulgences, usually from the Pope. They were considered a part of the clergy, essentially, because of this service.

However, in "The Canterbury Tales," we know that Chaucer upended the societal norms of the people he portrayed. So, while in real life, the pardoner is a good man that sells things for the Pope, in his poem, he is not.

In the General Prologue, the Host determines that the pardoner is not to be trusted because on top of the "pardons" he carries, he also has other things that he has used to trick a parson out of two month's salary.

With this in mind, the best answer to this question is A. Keeping in mind the stereotypes Chaucer played with and the description he gives of the pardoner--mainly that he's shady--it is best to say he sells false relics and pardons to swindle people out of their money.

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
