    The Brank - ProProfs

    The Brank

    • Speaking against Church and King

    • Stealing more than 5 pence

    • Gossiping

    • Eating stolen fruit

    • Drunkenness

    Correct Answer
    A. Gossiping
    Explanation
    Gossiping is considered a punishable offense in The Brank because it involves spreading rumors or engaging in idle talk about others, which can lead to harm or damage to their reputation. It is seen as a form of social misconduct that disrupts harmony within the community. While speaking against Church and King, stealing, eating stolen fruit, and drunkenness are also mentioned as offenses, gossiping is singled out as a distinct wrongdoing due to its potential to create discord and cause harm to individuals or relationships.

The other options such as being a witch, speaking against the church, stealing, and being a drunk all involve some form of behavior or action that can be controlled or chosen by an individual. Homelessness, on the other hand, is a state of being without a home, which can be caused by various factors such as poverty, unemployment, or lack of affordable housing options.

The other actions listed, such as drunkenness, stealing less than 5 pence, and not going to church, are also considered wrong or unacceptable, but they are generally less severe or have less severe consequences compared to fighting.

    • Poisoning your Husband

    • Joining a Rebellion

    • Gossiping with a Priest

    • Lying in Court

    • Begging

    Correct Answer
    A. Lying in Court
    Explanation
    Lying in court is considered a serious offense as it undermines the integrity of the legal system. It involves providing false information or testimony under oath, which can lead to wrongful convictions or the acquittal of guilty individuals. This act not only obstructs justice but also erodes public trust in the judicial system. Consequently, being branded with the letter "P" signifies that the individual has committed perjury and is being publicly shamed for their dishonesty in court.

Alchemy was seen as a threat to the established order, treason was viewed as a betrayal of the state, blasphemy was seen as an offense against religious beliefs, spying was considered an act of espionage and sedation was seen as a threat to the stability of the government. Therefore, individuals found guilty of these crimes were likely to face the punishment of beheading.
