Question

Why was Notre Dame Cathedral built?

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Notre Dame Cathedral was commissioned by King Louis VII who wanted it to be a symbol of Paris's political, economic, intellectual and cultural power at home and abroad. The city had emerged as the centre of power in France and needed a religious monument to match its new status.

The cathedral was initiated by Maurice de Sully, bishop of Paris, who about 1160 conceived the idea of converting into a single building, on a larger scale, the ruins of the two earlier basilicas. The cathedral's three great rose windows alone retain their 13th-century glass. Notre-Dame. Notre-Dame de Paris, France.

It's can't be D or A. King Louis VII commissioned it. And B seems more right than C.

Answer 2

It is C. It would make the most sense. A would not make sense B wouldn’t be right. And d would not be a reason to make a new cathedral so the only right answer is C.
