Question

how is a monarchy different from a patriarchy?

a. a monarchy may be run by a woman, whereas a patriarchy is run by men only.

b. a monarchy is run by religious leaders, whereas a patriarchy is run by one ruler.

c. a monarchy may be run by a man, whereas a patriarchy may be run women only.

d. a monarchy is run by one ruler, whereas a patriarchy is run by religious leaders.

Explanation:

A monarchy is a system with a single hereditary ruler, which can be a king or queen (a woman). A patriarchy is a social system where men hold primary power and leadership roles, so it is run only by men. The other options contain incorrect definitions: monarchies are not inherently run by religious leaders, and patriarchy is not defined by single rulers or female leadership.

Answer:

A. A monarchy may be run by a woman, whereas a patriarchy is run by men only.
