Your answer would be “The most memorable trip was when my brother and I encountered a bear.”
Besides stating that the correct answer is the first one (the church lost some of the influence it had during the height of the French Revolution), here is the explanation to better grasp the concept:
The Concordat of 1801, is an agreement signed on July 15th, between Napoleon, and the church representatives, in Rome and Paris.
This agreement defined the position of the Roman Catholic Church in France, put an end to the rupture caused by the reforms carried out by the church, and the confiscations that took place during the French Revolution.
This agreement, gave the first Consul (Napoleon), the right to nominate bishops, and new seminaries were established.
The word <em>head </em>in the given passage demonstrates how intelligent Benjamin was.
Explanation:
The following passage from <em>The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin</em> is the one you were given:
My elder brothers were all put apprentices to different trades. I was put to the grammar-school at eight years of age, my father intending to devote me, as the tithe of his sons, to the service of the Church. My early readiness in learning to read (which must have been very early, as I do not remember when I could not read), and the opinion of all his friends, that I should certainly make a good scholar, encouraged him in this purpose of his. My uncle Benjamin, too, approved of it and proposed to give me all his short-hand volumes of sermons, I suppose as a stock to set up with if I would learn his character. I continued, however, at the grammar-school not quite one year, though in that time I had risen gradually from the middle of the class of that year to be the head of it, and farther was removed into the next class above it, in order to go with that into the third at the end of the year.
The options you were given are the following:
- It demonstrates how intelligent he was.
-
It indicates he would be a good preacher.
-
It shows he was a favorite of the teachers.
- It reveals how self-important he was.
The word <em>head </em>in the given context demonstrates how intelligent Benjamin was. The head of a class is a student with the best grades, so based on that, we can conclude that he was a smart and hardworking student. The best student doesn't have to be the teachers' favorite. A student's grades in no way indicate that they may become a good preacher. Besides that, making a statement about their accomplishments doesn't make one self-important.
