Which one of the following is not a function of castles as expressed in the passage?

  • A.Castles served both offensive and defensive purposes militarily.
  • B.Castles served as symbols of power.
  • C.Castles were important social centres in medieval England.
  • D.Castles were the places where knights would keep their best horses.

Answer: D

The function that is not expressed in the passage is keeping knights' best horses.

The passage names four functions: bases for offensive attacks and defence in military operations, offices from which the lord administered his fiefdom, important social centres in medieval England, and symbols of power. Options A, B and C restate these, in the same words as the passage.

Horses and knights are never mentioned, so option D is the one that is not a function as expressed in the passage, whatever may be true of castles in general.
