Answer 1

The statement that correctly describes the Moriscos of sixteenth-century Spain is:

The Moriscos were the descendants of Muslims who, after the Reconquista and the signing of the Treaty of Granada in 1492, converted to Christianity under pressure, yet many continued to practice Islam in secret.
