Which of the following story scenarios would best fit the historical context of the 14th century? A. A small-town governor who s
peaks out against corrupt politicians faces exile and must build a new life without his family. B. A band of foxes terrorizes a local community by stealing their food and kidnapping their children. C. A local orphanage must close down because of an evil landlord, until the town church steps in and offers to raise funds for the children. D. A father tells a series of stories to his children about ghosts that inhabit the forest to teach them not to wander too far from home.
The story scenario that would best fit the historical context of the 14th century would be option D: a father tells a series of stories to his children about ghost that inhabit the forest to teach them not to wander too far from home.
There were no such things as politicians in the 14th century, so option A is incorrect.
Foxes could probably terrorize a local community but that would not be exclusive of the 14th century.
Regarding option C, orphanages as we know them, came to existence in the 16th century. In the 14th century the institution that could be considered an orphanage was the foundling home, and it was created by the church, not by landlords.
