Jacob's wife died during childbirth. Childbirth can be a dangerous and potentially life-threatening event for both the mother and the baby.

This tragic event is not uncommon in history and even today, despite advancements in medical care.

Which description of Sarah is NOT accurate (true)?
- She is brave
- She is kind
- She is mild mannered
Correct Answer

A. She is mild mannered

Explanation

The description of Sarah being "mild mannered" is not accurate because the other two descriptions, "brave" and "kind," suggest that she possesses certain qualities that are contrary to being mild mannered. Being brave and kind implies that Sarah is strong-willed and compassionate, which contradicts the notion of being mild mannered.
