what is ironic about the pledge the rioters make in these lines of “the pardoner's tale”?

they made their bargain, swore with appetite. / there three, to live and die for one another / as brother-born might swear to his born brother.

they really are brothers but have forgotten.
they have only just met.
they do not realize that death is listening.
they later plot to kill one another to get a larger share of the gold.

the correct answer can either be a or b because it could be both but you should probally choose b

imparadis't in one anothers arms  

the happier eden, shall enjoy their fill  

of bliss on bliss, while i to hell am thrust,  

where neither joy nor love, but fierce desire,  

among our other torments not the least,  

still unfulfill'd with pain of longing pines;  

yet let me not forget what i have gain'd  

from their own mouths; all is not theirs it seems:  

one fatal tree there stands of knowledge call'd,  

forbidden them to taste: knowledge forbidd'n?  

suspicious, reasonless. why should their lord  

envie them that? can it be sin to know,
