Question

Which scenario best illustrates the concept of feudalism?

“If you clean my house for a year, I will give you your own place.”
“I will buy you a car if you pay my rent for a year.”
“Buy me this car or I’ll have you thrown in jail.”
“Come work for me for six months and I’ll forgive your debts.”

Answer 1

“If you clean my house for a year, I will give you your own place.”

Explanation: Feudalism involves exchanging land or a home (a fief) for service or labor. The first scenario matches that reciprocal grant of residence/land in return for work. The others describe buying/borrowing, threats, or debt-for-work (indentured servitude), not feudal land-for-service arrangements.
