Answer: A. Just for a handful of silver he left us/ Just for a riband to stick in his coat

Explanation:

In poetry, we have different kinds of "feet" - the iamb is probably the most famous type. A dactyl is a kind of foot in which we have a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed ones.

The lines in option A are often used as an example of dactylic meter. They are the very first two lines in the poem "The Lost Leader", by Robert Browning. If we highlight the stressed syllables, we may observe the pattern:

Just for a handful of silver he left us

Just for a riband to stick in his coat

The Concordat of 1801, is an agreement signed on July 15th, between Napoleon, and the church representatives, in Rome and Paris.

This agreement defined the position of the Roman Catholic Church in France, put an end to the rupture caused by the reforms carried out by the church, and the confiscations that took place during the French Revolution.

This agreement, gave the first Consul (Napoleon), the right to nominate bishops, and new seminaries were established.
