Explanation:

Question 7:

Manors in the Middle - Ages often had a castle for protection, a church for religious activities, a small village where peasants lived, and fields for crops and animals. Cities and big roads were not typical features of a manor.

Question 8:

The three - field crop rotation system allowed for continuous soil fertility. One field was planted with a winter crop, one with a spring crop, and one left fallow. This increased the amount of land under cultivation each year and led to higher food production, contributing to population growth and the agricultural revolution.

Question 9:

A peasant was a free person who could move around and work for different lords or on their own land. A serf was bound to the land of a lord, could not leave without permission, and owed labor services and dues to the lord.

Question 10:

Literacy was rare in the Middle Ages. Most people were peasants or serfs who did not have access to education. Only the clergy, some nobles, and a few others could read and write. So the statement is false.

Question 11:

Social class in the Middle Ages was mainly determined by birth. One was born into a particular class such as monarch, lord, or serf. Other factors like marriage and military service could also play a role, but birth was the primary determinant.
