Question

Please HELPPPP!!!!

Read the paragraph from the introduction [paragraphs 1-3].

Many Christians thought that by participating in the Crusades they would atone for their sins. On the breast of their tunics thousands of knights and soldiers wore a cross of blood-red cloth to show they were going on Crusade. Those who returned wore the cross on their backs. The Latin word for cross is "crux," and from this word come the words "crusade" and "crusader."

Based on the context of the paragraph, which option BEST expresses the meaning of the word "crusader"?

A
one who struggles with sin
B
one who believes in atonement
C
one who advances the cross
D
one who bears the burden of the cross

Answer 1

one who believes in atonement

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Crusaders were the people who wanted to bring about a change in the fields and areas of religion, political change and social change. They wanted to participate in the crusade for atoning for their sins and the wrong done by them.

Thus these were the people who believed in atonement, they believed that they could make up, do reparation for the wrong done by participating in the war of crusades.
