During the Great Fear, rumours pushed peasants toward what?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Attacks on nobles’ houses and feudal records
The governing concept is the rural spread of revolutionary unrest and the attack on feudal privilege. During the Great Fear in the summer of 1789, rumours circulated that nobles were organising armed brigands or planning to crush peasant communities. Frightened and angry peasants armed themselves, attacked manor houses, and destroyed or seized feudal documents that recorded dues and obligations. These actions weakened the practical foundations of the old feudal system and increased pressure for the abolition of feudal privileges. Thus option A is correct. The other choices have no connection with the rumours or the rural revolt and do not describe the actions of the peasants.
