Question

1. what best explains how manorialism shaped medieval europes economy?

manorialism created estates that made their own food and goods.
manorialism led to europes quick shift to a money - based system of buying and selling in markets.
manorialism forced knights to run city marketplaces and collect taxes from traders.
manorialism required peasants to travel across europe selling the lords goods.

Explanation:

Manorialism was a system where manors (estates) were largely self - sufficient. They produced their own food (through farming on the manor lands) and many goods (like basic handicrafts). This self - sufficiency was a key characteristic.
Option 2 is incorrect because manorialism was more about a barter - like, local, non - money - based (or limited money - use) system. Option 3 is wrong as knights were mainly focused on warfare and protecting the manor, not running city marketplaces. Option 4 is incorrect because peasants were tied to the land of the manor and did not travel across Europe to sell goods.

Answer:

Manorialism created estates that made their own food and goods.
