Answer:

D: "...and get their silver for the things I teach..."

Step-by-step explanation:

"...and get their silver..." expresses the real motive the pardoner had for preaching to the masses . Although he talks about repenting, and even carried some indulgences (pardons written and authorized by the Church), which were to be offered to people so they could be absolved from their sins, and in turn they should give some donation. The pardoner used this practice and kept the money to himself.
