Which of the following does NOT describe life in the medieval cloister? a. living in quiet seclusion b. participating in teaching and hospital work c. being at the center of trade and commerce d. devotion to prayer, scholarship, and charity

The correct answer is letter C

The feudal economy was based mainly on agriculture. There were coins in the Middle Ages, but they were little used. Exchanges of products and goods were common in the feudal economy. The feud was the economic base of this period, because whoever owned the land had more power. Handicrafts were also practiced in the Middle Ages. Production was low, as agricultural labor techniques were extremely rudimentary. The ox-drawn plow was widely used in agriculture.
