Answer 1

The statement that best distinguishes serfdom from slavery is:

Serfs gave up a portion of their crops to work the land.

In serfdom, serfs were bound to the land and had certain obligations to their lords, which often included giving a portion of their agricultural produce. In contrast, slaves were considered property and had no rights or ownership over their labor or results.
