what is the main theme of the pardoners prologue (sermon) and tale?
death is inevitable
desire for money is stronger than friendship
greed is the root of evil
most clergymen are hypocrites

Explanation:

The Pardoner's Prologue and Tale, from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, centers on the Pardoner's own greedy practices (selling fake relics) and his tale of three rioters who kill each other over gold. The core message ties directly to the idea that greed drives immoral, destructive acts, which aligns with the traditional moral "greed is the root of evil." While other options touch on minor elements, this is the overarching central theme.

Answer:

Greed is the root of evil
