Answer:

He pokes at the faults and shortcomings of the pilgrims

Explanation:

Satire refers to the use of humor, exaggeration, ridicule and irony to make fun of and expose somebody's faults, ignorance and vices. Thus, in "The Canterbury Tales," the author Geoffrey Chaucer employs satire to make contemptuous fun of and expose the pilgrims' unsatisfactory features, such as  their immoral and corrupt behavior.
