Question

From The Canterbury Tales, “The Pardoner’s Tale”

Which line from “The Pardoner’s Tale” indicates the Pardoner’s feelings about the spiritual welfare of others? (1 point)
“… Them from it, I can bring them to repent…”
“That’s not the counsel of my inner voice!”
“They can go blackberrying for all I care!”
“I take great pains, and stretching out my neck…”

Answer 1

“They can go blackberrying for all I care!”

Answer 2

I believe the correct answer is C. "They can go blackberrying for all I care!"

He explains that the purpose of his preaching is not to save people's souls from fires of the Hell. When those people are dead, nobody will know what happens to them anyway. He very openly declares that he is a swindler who doesn't care about the spiritual well-being of others. The only thing that is important to him is their purses.
