Question

What evidence best supports the conclusion that women who had worked at the palace had an advantage over those who had never worked at the palace? "These women, who have displayed their faces . . . during their years at Court, are lacking in feminine grace." "Even those who stay at home lose nothing by having served at Court." "They do not have to disgrace themselves by . . . asking other people about procedure." "They themselves are well versed in the formalities, which is just as it should be."

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is option D. "They themselves are well versed in the formalities, which is just as it should be."

Explanation: Women who had been to court had more experience in social circles and knew the "formalities" of behavior better than those who hadn't gone to court. I took the test and got 100%, so I know it's correct.
