Question

Options for noble-born women during the Renaissance were limited; one could either _____ or _____.

marry a man one’s family chose; accept an apprenticeship to learn a trade
accept an apprenticeship to learn a trade; migrate to the New World
marry a man one’s family chose; live life out in a nunnery
migrate to the New World; live life out in a nunnery

Answer 1

Marry a man one's family chose; live life out in a nunnery.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C.

During the Renaissance, a noble-born woman could either marry a man chosen by her family or live life out in a nunnery.

Learning a trade was not an option for a woman, especially one of noble birth. Nor was it possible for her to migrate to the New World -- unless, of course, it was her husband or father who decided to go.
