    The main functions of a guild were primarily to **protect the interests of people working in an industry and maintain standards within the industry**. Guilds were organizations of artisans or merchants that regulated their trade, established standards for quality, set prices, and provided mutual support to their members. They also played a role in training apprentices and ensuring that members adhered to specific practices and standards. The other options, such as negotiating trade agreements or addressing the Black Death, do not accurately represent the core functions of guilds. Additionally, guilds were more focused on skilled trades rather than unskilled labor in factories.
