Answer:
One of the rioters states that they must take the gold back at night, so that they are not accused of theft.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is about The Pardoner's Tale, a story that shows how greed and a thirst for wealth can lead people to betray those they trust most and lead them to their deaths.
In this story, we are introduced to two men who want to find death and make it pay for killing their friend. These men are told that death is at the top of a mountain under a large tree. When men arrive at this place, they do not find death, but find a treasure filled with gold, which stimulates their greed and causes each to develop a plan to kill the other and keep the gold for themselves. They do not want to be accused of theft and so one of them indicates that during the night they must return the gold to the lcal where they found it, but that is just a false strategy.
