Question

q# 1. 1 what made the manoral system sustainable during the middle ages? a) extensive international trade b) advanced technological innovations c) collective community efforts and local production d) complex monetary system

Explanation:

The manorial system was a self - sufficient economic and social unit in the Middle Ages. It relied on the collective work of the community (peasants, lords, etc.) within the manor. Local production of food (agriculture), goods (crafts), and services was the norm.

• Option A: Extensive international trade was not a feature of the manorial system. The manorial system was largely self - sufficient and trade was limited, especially compared to later periods.
• Option B: Advanced technological innovations were not a key factor. The technology used in agriculture (e.g., the heavy plow was an exception but not widespread in a way that "advanced" technology sustained the system) and other aspects was relatively basic.
• Option D: A complex monetary system was not central. Transactions within the manor often used barter or labor dues rather than a complex monetary exchange.

Answer:

C. Collective community efforts and local production
