Explanation:

First Question (Romanesque and Gothic Churches)

• Option a: Gothic churches don't primarily use wooden roofs, and Romanesque churches use barrel vaults (not stone ribbed vaults which are Gothic), so a is wrong.
• Option b: Romanesque churches have barrel vaults and thick walls (to support the vaults), while Gothic churches use flying buttresses to support thinner walls and have large stained glass windows. This matches the architectural differences.
• Option c: Flying buttresses are Gothic, and barrel vaults are Romanesque, so this swaps them, making c wrong.
• Option d: Gothic churches are taller and lighter (due to large windows), Romanesque are smaller and darker, so d has them reversed, wrong.

• Option a: New France didn't focus on gold/silver mining (that was more Spanish colonies), so a is wrong.
• Option b: New France had limited manufacturing; mass production of goods was not common, so b is wrong.
• Option c: New France's economy relied heavily on fur trading (with Native Americans) and fishing, which is correct.
• Option d: Tobacco/rice plantations with slave labor were in Southern British colonies, not New France, so d is wrong.

Answer:

b. Romanesque churches have barrel vaults and thick walls; Gothic churches have flying buttresses and large stained glass windows.
