Which of the following items handcrafted in Africa would most likely be made by a woman? A: a reed basket?
B: a musical instrument?
C: a stone carving?
D: a wooden mask?

C.

Explanation:

In older civilizations, works regarded as larger and requiring more strength and reasoning were reserved for men. In contrast, jobs considered smaller and requiring less intellectual effort were considered feminine jobs. Stone carving was a work that required strength, intelligence and talent. Although women were perfectly capable of making a stone sculpture, this work was reserved for men, since they believed that only men would have the strength and intellectual balance for this activity.

the conditions that made the byzantine empire vulnerable to attacks by the muslin turks were the sack of constantinople by western crusaders, the conquests of the sultanate of rum, presence of rival kingdoms and finally the set up of fiefdoms at the empire which were owned by the ghazis (turkish warriors).
