Question

multiple-choice question
which of the following is true about the bread most people in seventeenth century
france had to eat?
the dough used to make it often contained lots of saw dust.
it essentially tasted like a pumpernickel bagel.
it was actually much more nutritious than the bread we eat because it contained many
more grams of fiber.

Explanation:

In 17th-century France, most common people relied on cheap, low-quality bread. Bakers often stretched scarce flour by adding fillers like sawdust to the dough, as grain was expensive and in short supply for the lower classes. Pumpernickel is a dense, dark rye bread not typical of the common French loaf, and the bread was not more nutritious than modern bread—fillers like sawdust provided no nutrition, and the grain used was often refined or of poor quality.

Answer:

The dough used to make it often contained lots of saw dust.
