According to the general prologue of the canterbury tales the holy blessed martyr the pilgrims sought in the journey was

Sir Thomas Beckett

Explanation:

The Canterbury Tales is a collection of 24 stories that were written by Geoffrey Chaucer during the Medieval period. These are written in Middle English and mostly in verse (though some are in prose). In the prologue of the text, we learn that a group of pilgrims are taking part in a story-telling contest as they travel from London to Canterbury to visit the holy blessed martyr Sir Thomas Beckett at Canterbury Cathedral.

*meditation

*music

*reading

*playing games

*going out to eat

a. "to practice" is the best phrase to complete the sentence.

explanation:

during the summer, she likes to practice her soccer skills so that she is ready to play in the fall.

(note that : all the other options "the practicing of", "practice for" and "to do a practice on" are inappropriate as they make the sentence grammatically incorrect.)
