    Some samurais later became monks

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    It is true that some samurais later became monks. After the decline of the samurai class in Japan, many samurais sought spiritual enlightenment and turned to Buddhism, becoming monks. This transition allowed them to find solace and purpose in a different path, focusing on meditation, self-reflection, and serving their communities through religious practices. This shift from a life of warfare to a life of peace and devotion was not uncommon among samurais during this time period.

    Which of the following is NOT true about Japanese peasants? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is NOT true about Japanese peasants?

    • They were often poor.

    • They could be killed for dishonoring the samurai class.

    • They could not move or marry without permission.

    • They were the lowest class in feudal society.

    Correct Answer
    A. They were the lowest class in feudal society.
    Explanation
    The statement "They were the lowest class in feudal society" is not true about Japanese peasants. Although peasants were considered lower in social status compared to the samurai class, they were not the lowest class in feudal society. The lowest class in feudal society was the eta class, which consisted of outcasts and those who performed "unclean" occupations such as butchering animals or handling corpses. Peasants, on the other hand, were primarily engaged in agricultural work and had a higher social standing than the eta class.
