Answer 1

I could be wrong but I believe it's A because the other ones don't make sense to me at all

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A.

Explanation:

A courtier should be modest about his talents and skills, is the right answer.

The Book of the Courtier is a long learned dialogue on the issue of what creates a perfect court or lady courtier, reliable to befriend and encourage a Prince or executive leader. This book describes a courtier to be modest about his talents and skills.

During that time, the King and nobles had an absolute authority to hang people in lower social status without following any court regularity. If a courtier is not modest about the skills or talents, some leaders may see her as a menace to their place and chose to kill her.
