Base your answers to the following questions on the passage below and on your knowledge of social studies.
…Aside from female saints, the women described in the greatest detail by Byzantine authors are empresses and
aristocrats. Although they had a certain amount of freedom, these women were held to very much the same standards
as average women in Byzantine society: modesty, piety, and self-control were traits of an ideal woman. To preserve
their modesty, young unmarried women rarely went out in public alone, and married women who did not have jobs
outside the home left the house only for specific reasons, such as to go to the market, to church, or to the baths. By
the middle Byzantine period, it was thought appropriate for women, when they did go out, tovcover their heads.…

Base your answers to the following questions on the speakers’ statements below
and on your knowledge of social studies.
Speaker A: The chief problem with the Roman Catholic Church is the practice of selling indulgences. The only way for
Christians to receive salvation is through faith alone.
Speaker B: If Christians want to be saved, they should perform good deeds and ask for forgiveness of sins. The granting
of indulgences allows Christians to be excused for their sins.
Speaker C: It is true that the Bible, and not members of the clergy, is the ultimate source of religious truth. However,
God has already decided who will be saved and who will not.
Speaker D: Since the Pope does not agree with my position, I have decided to separate from the Roman Catholic
Church. I am now not only the head of England but also of the Anglican Church.
12. Which speaker most closely reflects the ideas of Martin Luther?
