Answer 7

The statement that best explains how feudal monarchs were able to exert power and control over peasants is:

Peasants needed protection and land, which the lords provided.

This explanation captures the essence of the feudal system, where peasants (or serfs) agreed to work the land of lords in exchange for protection and the right to cultivate some land for their own use. In this hierarchical system, the lords provided security and land, which solidified their control over the peasants and reinforced the social and economic structure of feudalism.

Answer 9

The best explanation for how feudal monarchs were able to exert power and control over peasants is:

Peasants needed protection and land, which the lords provided.

This statement highlights the essential nature of the feudal system, where a reciprocal relationship existed between lords and peasants. Peasants relied on lords for land to farm and for protection against external threats. In exchange, they worked the land and fulfilled various obligations to the lords, thereby ensuring the lords' control over their lives and labor. This foundational relationship established the power dynamics in feudal society.

All four Crusades ended in the Holy Land.

Only the Second Crusade had a singular point of origin.

Answer 11

To determine which statement is most accurate based on historical context:

• Only the Third Crusade involved England. - This statement is inaccurate. England participated in several Crusades, but the Third Crusade is notable for having the English King Richard the Lionheart involved.

• All Crusades had a pathway through Rome. - This statement is also inaccurate. While some Crusaders may have passed through Rome, it was not a necessary route for all Crusades.

• All four Crusades ended in the Holy Land. - This statement is inaccurate. While the First, Second, and Third Crusades were aimed at the Holy Land, the Fourth Crusade diverted to Constantinople.

• Only the Second Crusade had a singular point of origin. - This statement is inaccurate as well. The First Crusade had multiple starting points, as did later Crusades.

Given this analysis, it appears that none of the statements is fully accurate. However, if the statements are taken in a loose context, the most accurate might be closest to the idea of the Third Crusade's notable involvement of England. But as they all contain inaccuracies, additional context from the map would be necessary to definitively choose the most accurate statement. If it's strictly guided by the statements provided and their historical accuracy, you may want to reconsider the phrasing or clarity of the options given.
