Step-by-step explanation:

During the middle ages, the women were completely subjected to their husbands for the rest of their lives. The husbands were allowed to have the full control and power in the relationship. So, this makes the answer, "Whether they were noble born or peasant bred, women were completely subject to their husbands. He could beat them any time and for any reason," true.

During the middle ages, the women earned half to three quarters of the male's wage. This showed a huge wage gap between the males and the females in the Medieval society. No matter how eager the women wanted to earn during this time, they were still paid less than the males. So, this makes the answer, "Women were paid less than their seven-year-old son who was paid for the same work in the field," as true.

Since women were considered inferior to men during this period, many of them were illiterate since they couldn't have access to formal education. This includes the women of rich families, unless their parents would teach them to read and write. So, this makes the answer, "Women would not be able to read this sentence," true.
