In "The Prologue" to The Canterbury Tales, The Pardoner’s hypocrisy is indicated in all of the following lines EXCEPT:

Question 8 options:

“His chin no beard had harbored, nor would harbor”


“For in his trunk he had a pillow-case/Which he asserted was Our Lady’s veil.”


“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.”


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

i would say his hypocrisy is indicated in ways except for, “His chin no beard had harbored, nor would harbor” because this is a physical description of the pardoner. unlike the other lines which seem to describe his behavior and personality a bit more; what type of person he his.
-hope this helps
