Question

1. the peasant who raised up an army in disguise in france to conquer orleans from england was:

• joan of arc
• henry v
• charlemagne
• mary queen of scots

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall historical figures: Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'Arc) led French forces to lift the siege of Orléans from English control during the Hundred Years' War. Henry V was an English king, Charlemagne was a medieval emperor (not related to this Orléans conquest), and Mary, Queen of Scots, was a Scottish monarch with no direct role here. So the correct figure is Joan of Arc.

Answer:

A. Joan of Arc
