What prediction would you most likely make?
At once the three young rioters began
To run, and reached the tree, and there they found A pile of golden florins on the ground, 
New-coined, eight bushels of them as they thought. No longer was it Death those fellows sought,
For they were all so thrilled to see the sight,
The florins were so beautiful and bright,
That down they sat beside the precious pile.

People think that the rioters stole the money.
The rioters will happily split the money equally.
Death uses the gold as a reward for a challenge.
The gold will be the downfall of the rioters.

What does the Pardoner suggest about the deaths of the two older rioters?
There is, in Avicenna’s long relation Concerning poison and its operation,

So did the treacherous young poisoner too.

Their transgression merited a severe punishment.
Their death were easier than they deserved.
They realized that they had been betrayed.
Death himself had planned all the deaths.
