Read the excerpt from The Canterbury Tales

What feature of medieval life is reflected in the excerpt?
"To start with, I declare where I've come from,
And then produce my certificates, one by one,
My licence with the seal of our lord bishop
Which I show first-that's to protect myself
So that nobody, whether priest or cleric,
Dares interdict me from Christ's holy work."
O the custom of going to confession regularly
o the acceptance of the church's authority
O the practice of traveling to distant locations
o the importance of knowing one's neighbors

Answer:

B) The acceptance of the church’s authority

Step-by-step explanation:

The Canterbury tales is a story that is written by an American author named Geoffrey Chaucer in the 13th century.

According to the passage above, the writer indicates the acceptance of the church authority in the medieval period. During this time, the Church was not only a powerful force but also the leading institution since it had the power to control every aspect of people's lives. In this passage, the author relates to the power of church members, priests and clerics to prohibit someone from doing holy work.
