Answer 2

The correct answer is C) to pursue Parliament that simply because she has a child, does not guarantee that the child will be a competent ruler.

Queen Elizabeth’s purpose in the excerpt is to pursue Parliament that simply because she has a child, does not guarantee that the child will be a competent ruler.

In the excerpt, she says “The realm shall be not remain destitute of any hair that may be a fit governour, and peradventure more beneficial to the realm that such offspring as may come of me…” That was her way to pursue Parliament that simply because she has a child, does not guarantee that the child will be a competent ruler.  

Elizabeth I (1533-1603) was the Queen of England from 1558 until her death. During his tenure, she took England to a prominent place in Europe due to the advances in trade, arts, and politics.
