Answer:

Explanation:

<u>1.What were the economic roles of serfs, nobles, clergy, merchants, monarchs, knights, artisans?</u>

Serfs -- <em> they belonged to the lowest social class of the feudal society.  They weren't slaves, as they had a property to stay at.</em>

<em>They worked for the noble vassals. In a return, they got a place to stay, in the estate that belonged to the vassal. For that benefit, they worked very hard so they could repay their debt. When it came to power over politics and control of the property, they had none.  If a noble vassal decided to sell his property, serfs would be sold, too.</em>

Nobles -- <em>belonged to the highest social class in the feudal system. They got their lands from the monarch, in return, they had to provide certain favors and services for him. Usually services that have something to do with military. This type of class was a hereditary class, and it carried certain financial and other benefits within.</em>

Clergy --<em> it's a class of religious people. Priests, pastors, bishops, etc.carried this title. They had certain influence when it comes to making decisions on certain topics that were made by the politicians. When it comes to power, they didn't really have it, but they had influence on some spheres.</em>

Merchants -- <em>this title was carried by the people that used to set up businesses in towns and traded different things. Those goods weren't produced by them. </em>

<em>There are two types of merchants:</em>

A wholesale merchant<em> -- his role was to work between a producer and a retail merchant. </em>

<em>They organized the moving of the things that are made, but they don't move them.</em>

A retail merchant -- <em>is a person that sells certain things, to people who will consume them.</em>

<em>For example, a person that owns a place where certain goods are sold, he is a retail merchant. </em>

Knights -- <em> they used to serve for the lord. They were their company in the court and their role was to protect them. They were also armored and they rode on a horse. Not everybody could afford to be a knight as the equipment was very expensive. They also used to watch over the Lord's manor in order to make sure everything is doing well. The payment was in the form of land holdings. When it comes to Lords, they had big amounts of respect and trust towards knights. </em>

Artisans -- <em>people with certain skills and they made things with their own hands. The things they made were either for the everyday use or sometimes even only for the decoration. </em>

<em>Some of the goods they made: liquor, shoes, clothes, household items, tools, jewels etc.</em>

<u>2. What were the serfs, nobles, clergy’s, merchants, monarchs, knights, artisans place in the social hierarchy?</u>

When it comes to social hierarchy,  in the Middle Ages, it goes like this:

1. Pope/Church

2. Monarch

3. Nobles

4. Knights/ Vassals

5. Merchants / Craftsmen / Farmers

6. Peasants / Serfs

<u>3. What were some challenges faced by serfs, nobles, clergy, merchants, monarchs, knights and artisans groups?</u>

<u> 4. What were the potential benefits of belonging to serfs, nobles, clergy, merchants, monarchs, knights, artisans groups?</u>

<em>1. Peasants and serfs belong to the lowest social status there were.</em>

<em>They used to work in the fields for many hours, but they also had time to have fun and do certain activities.</em>

<em>2. On a bit better position, there were merchants, farmers and craftsmen.</em>

<em>They were a bit more educated than the serfs and peasants, so they had a better life than them. They used to pass down to their offsprings everything they had learn. The last name they carried usually indicated what skills they had. </em>

<em>3. When it comes to Knights and vassals, they were sometimes members of the clergy. They carried many responsibilities with them and they served to any member that belonged to the clergy. Sometimes they would even maintain the manor where Lords used to lived, and they had to make sure that everything's going well in the manor.</em>

<em>4. Then, we have Nobles. They had a pretty high level of education.</em>

<em>When it comes to their wealth, they wouldn't make it by themselves, but they would inherit it from their ancestors. They used to believe that they had every right to secure their positions because of their families.</em>

<em>5. Then, on the top of the social pyramid, we have Monarchy.</em>

<em>They had the biggest power and authority and if a person wanted to be a part of this social class, they would have to be related by blood to the King.</em>

<em>*  </em><em>When it comes to disadvantages of being an artisan, it was the fact that they had no freedom. They used to be vassals of the person that used to own the part of the land where they worked. They didn't have permission to move from one village to another, without getting the permission from the person that was their Lord. And they would be overtaxed. </em>

Your first instinct is probably to choose the free response essay. If you did, you would not be correct. A free response starts out with you making an opinion statement, but you have to be able to back it up, and your reasons ought to be logical.

DBQ you be your next guess, because the letters aren't well known and maybe it doesn't require any back up. Unfortunately it does. DBQ stands for Document Based Questions. That means you have to check things very carefully.

Globally Thinking Essay requires that you pick a global issue that you could apply to something local.

A process essay is what its name suggests. You are writing a procedure to do something. I don't think you need any backup material for this. You just have to give the right steps to do something. A document won't help you.

In my day this would not depend on any background notations if you were good enough. Simply writing an interpretation would be good enough. I don't think that's true now.

These terms are all knew to me but I would go with the process essay. It is cut and dried and I don't think it requires documentation, not at the level I'm thinking of. A scholarly paper might require great care in the directions for the procedure.

I'd pick D.

A thesis statement should start out to be very general and then it should be confined in some way. Statements E (especially), D, C and B are too specific to start with. The true statement and general one is likely A.

Three

The definition of Histiography is the study of the way history is written. The first thing you say about any study should be what and not how. What is histiography? is the first thing you have to deal with. Top Down and Bottom up are methods of looking at history. Both are valid depending on what you are writing about. As usual I don't think any of them are really a choice or they all are. A is your best choice in my mind, but that's a poor choice of a bad lot.

The problem with the answers is that they suggest change. That's not what Histiography is is about. It is just the study of how history is written. For example Top Down is about the leaders who have created history and bottom up is how people have lived under that rule. There is no mention of one being superior to another or that we need to revise anything.
