Question

what describes the practice of selling indulgences?
the army letting people pay to avoid a draft
the government letting people pay to overlook their crimes
the church making people pay to forgive their sins

Explanation:

Selling indulgences was a practice by the Catholic Church where people paid to have their sins forgiven or to reduce time in purgatory. The first option is about military drafts, the second about government and crimes, while the third matches the church - sin - forgiveness context of indulgences.

Answer:

C. the church making people pay to forgive their sins (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C with the third option being C; if the original labels were different, adjust accordingly, but based on the content, the correct option is the one stating "the church making people pay to forgive their sins")
