Which of the following inferences is best supported by passage (paragraph 5)?
The Anglo-Saxon era ended in 1066 when William the Conqueror landed with his army in England and attacked and defeated the Anglo-Saxons
to become the first Norman king of England. The Normans introduced the system of feudalism, under which land was divided among the nobility.
Knights pledged their wealth and services to barons, who in turn provided use of the land. Constant warfare in the Middle Ages involved troops
of heavily armed knights fighting each other. Given their role in society, knights enjoyed great social prestige in the feudal aristocracy system. It
was during this time period that English writers produced romances about the legendary King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, with Sir
Gawain and the Green Knight as one of the most highly regarded verse romances in English.
A Epic poems reflected the warrior culture of the Anglo-Saxons, while pilgrims' tales and medieval romances reflected the feudal culture established after the
Norman invasion.
B. The first epic poems, pilgrims tales, and medieval romances were written after the establishment of feudalism
C. Pilgrims' tales reflected the values of the Anglo-Saxons, while epic poems and medieval romances developed later and were influenced by the feudal system
OD Epic poems, pilgrims' tales, and medieval romances all existed prior to the introduction of feudalism and were not significantly influenced by later events
