Tip of the Day In Logical Reasoning questions, especially those based on arrangements, making a table of the common data provided can be useful in solving the questions quickly. Last year's Question of the day (20-Sep-11) The Revolution caused a massive shift of power from the Roman Catholic Church to the state. Under the Ancien Régime, the Church had been the largest single landowner in the country, owning about 10% of the land in the kingdom. The Church was exempt from paying taxes to the government, while it levied a tithe—a 10% tax on income, often collected in the form of crops—on the general population, which it then redistributed to the poor. The power and wealth of the Church was highly resented by some groups. A small minority of Protestants living in France, such as the Huguenots, wanted an anti-Catholic regime and revenge against the clergy who discriminated against them. Enlightenment thinkers such as Voltaire helped fuel this resentment by denigrating the Catholic Church and destabilizing the French monarchy. As historian John McManners argues, "In eighteenth-century France throne and altar were commonly spoken of as in close alliance; their simultaneous collapse ... would one day provide the final proof of their interdependence."
Which of the following is the best possible title for the passage?
| OPTIONS | | | | | 1) | The throne and the altar – their interdependence | | | 2) | The cause of the French Revolution as seen from the peasant point of view | | | 3) | The simultaneous collapse of the Church and the Throne | | | 4) | The relationship between the Church and the Monarchy and how it led to the French Revolution | | | 5) | The shift of power from the Church to the state |
