The answer is c. He was tired and it was late; it had been a long day. The semi-colon helps distinguish the two separate parts. The part where it says "it had been a long day" doesn't make sense if added by a comma.

Which of these statements is true about the pardoner's tale? It reveals that the pardoner is indifferent to people who buy pardons from him. It is epic in nature despite being quite lighthearted in tone. It tells a moral tale that is at odds with the pardoner's own persona. It offends many of the other pilgrims on the journey to Canterbury.

Answers

The third option is the correct one - "it tells a moral tale that is at odds with the pardoner's own persona". The pardoner is a con, and he admits it. He tricks people into giving him money, and that is how he earns for a living. However, his story is quite the opposite - it is a moral tale that should teach us how to behave and what not to do, and his preaching and methods, despite how corrupt they are, are ultimately good.

Answer:

it tells a moral tale that is at odds with the pardoner's own persona
