Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
	Some people assume that medieval castles served as homes for the wealthy and powerful. Although this is true, it is not the whole truth. Castles were communities made up of the wealthy owners, nobles, religious leaders, merchants, and farmers. The building itself was only a part of the castle. Thick walls extended around the castle structure and the village that sat next to the castle.
	Castles played an important role in feudalism. The word “castle” comes from a Latin word that means fortress. A castle helped a king or vassal defend the land where the castle stood. It also served as a place to house the king or vassal’s army, weapons, and food. A castle was also the center of local government. Although they were frequently attacked, castles were the safest dwellings of the time. A castle was typically built on the top of a hill to protect the community from invasions. Soldiers on the walls kept a lookout for attacking armies.
	Life inside the castle walls was difficult and crowded. There was not much land to build on, so people built houses that were narrow and tall. Many buildings were five or six stories. Streets were also narrow and dirty. People would throw their garbage and waste out into the streets. Disease spread quickly. At night the streets were dark and unsafe. People would rarely go out after dark without their servants. When they did, they carried torches or candles. Fire was one of the greatest dangers for a medieval town. Most houses were made of wood. Only the wealthy had stone and brick houses. One city in France burned to the ground six times between 1200 and 1255 CE!
	Despite the many risks, people lived in castle communities because of the protection that was offered them by the nobles who built the castle and provided military support. Lords and ladies also benefited from the townsfolk who provided food and goods. The castle system was interdependent between the wealthy and the poor. They both needed each other to survive and thrive.
