The word seamstress is related to what?

Correct answer: Woman who sews clothes

The direct answer is A: a woman who sews clothes. A seamstress is a female worker who makes, repairs or stitches garments. The word is connected with sewing and clothing, so it describes an occupation rather than a political office or military position. Option A is correct because sewing clothes is exactly the meaning of seamstress. Option B, a woman who collects tax, describes a tax collector, not a seamstress. Option C, a war general, is a military commander and has no connection with sewing. Option D, a royal judge, is a person who gives legal decisions in a royal court and is also unrelated. In the context of the French Revolution, seamstresses were among working women who earned money through needlework and clothing work. This helps us understand that women were not only members of families; many also worked for their livelihood. Memory cue: “seam” means the joining line in cloth, so seamstress means a woman working with seams.
