Question 17 • Social Studies 8 - LIU Summer

What is one difference between a mendicant order and monastic order?

Answer
A
Friars taught Christianity, while monks did not.
B
Friars lived in poverty, while monks did not.
C
Friars were women, while monks were men.
D
Friars traveled, while monks lived in monasteries.

Explanation

Mendicant friars traveled from place to place to preach and serve communities, often relying on donations rather than living from property. Monks generally lived in monasteries and followed a stable communal routine. Therefore, “Friars traveled, while monks lived in monasteries” is the key difference; monks could also take vows of poverty, so choice B is not accurate.
