Please answer this correctly

Answer 1

'The mercenaries fought for as long as they were paid, not just the 40 days a year that knights fought.'

Step-by-step explanation:

This supports the statement that hired soldiers would fight for longer than knights would. They had motivation which was currency in exchange for their participation in battle/war. The knights on the other hand were only required a certain amount of days. It was not stated whether they were paid or not, but I can assume that they were not which would make one--specifically--a knight reluctant to go to battle. Therefore, hired soldiers did the work the knights were reluctant to do.

Answer 2

"The mercenaries fought for as long as they were paid, not just the 40 days a year that knights fought."

Step-by-step explanation:

Only this sentence shows that when paid, they fight willingly because there's something in it for them. (Also "You have origami prizes to reveal! Go check your collection.")
