Question

Read this excerpt from a book that describes clothing in medieval Europe. Nobles, including lords and ladies, often were dressed in rich-colored clothing, sometimes even with golden thread. Dyeing clothes was very expensive at the time; therefore, only the wealthy could afford to have clothing made with vibrant colors. Peasants wore un-dyed clothes in browns and grays mostly for two reasons: they were inexpensive, and because peasants worked the land, dirt was less predominant and the clothes were easier to clean. On the basis of this excerpt, what can a reader conclude about noble women and peasant women?
A. Peasant women had no interest in fine clothing.
B. It was easy to distinguish between noble and peasant women at a glance.
C. Noble women were concerned only with their wealth and status.
