Correct answers: 2 and 4.

- Both were members of a hereditary warrior class who began martial training in childhood (pages/squires for knights; early samurai training).
- Both served feudal lords (landowners) and provided military service to protect those lords' interests.

Options 1 and 3 are incorrect: they did not primarily exist to protect a central king or to be elected officials.
