Question

In "The Prologue" to The Canterbury Tales, The Pardoner’s hypocrisy is indicated in all of the following lines EXCEPT: Question 8 options: A “His chin no beard had harbored, nor would harbor” B “For in his trunk he had a pillow-case/Which he asserted was Our Lady’s veil.” C “He said he had a gobbet of the sail/St. Peter had the time when he made bold/To walk the waves, till Jesu Christ took hold.”

D “For well he knew that when that song was sung/He’d have to preach and tune his honey-tongue.” Save

Answer 1

The correct choice is "A", "His chin no beard had harbored, nor would harbor”.
The statement is a physical description of the pardoner which has nothing to do with the hypocrisy or behavior, while other statements can be taken as or explained as a code of morality or characteristics of the pardoner’s personality.
