Q: I have a test where I am given the following article, what is an answer for the question: What did the people who were able to acquire more fertile areas survive? ?  Society throughout Europe was disturbed by the dislocations caused by the Black Death. Lands that had been marginally productive were abandoned, as the survivors were able to acquire more fertile areas. Although serfdom declined in Western Europe it became more common in Eastern Europe, as landlords imposed it on those of their tenants who had previously been free. Most peasants in Western Europe managed to change the work they had previously owed to their landlords into cash rents. The percentage of serfs amongst the peasantry declined from a high of 90 to closer to 50 percent by the end of the period. Landlords also became more conscious of common interests with other landholders, and they joined together to extort privileges from their governments. Partly at the urging of landlords, governments attempted to legislate a return to the economic conditions that existed before the Black Death. Non-clergy became increasingly literate, and urban populations began to imitate the nobility's interest in chivalry.Jewish communities were expelled from England in 1290 and from France in 1306. Although some were allowed back into France, most were not, and many Jews emigrated eastwards, settling in Poland and Hungary. The Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492, and dispersed to Turkey, France, Italy, and Holland. The rise of banking in Italy during the 13th century continued throughout the 14th century, fuelled partly by the increasing warfare of the period and the needs of the papacy to move money between kingdoms. Many banking firms loaned money to royalty, at great risk, as some were bankrupted when kings defaulted on their loans.

Q: I have a test where I am given the following article, what is an answer for the question: What is the name of the person who says "Make a fist"? ?  Popeye & Olive Oyl stroll happily along arm-in-arm and stop short when Popeye catches sight of a roller rink: Good Skates 50 cents, Cheap Skates 25 cents the  declares. Asked to go skating, Olive protests that she does not know how; but Popeye will teach her! Within, the attendant asks Popeye what size of skates he wishes to rent, and Popeye, observing Olive's long feet, blushes, either not wishing to say or not knowing. "Make a fist," he suggests to his best girl, and the attendant shall measure it. ("A hand like a foot and a half," he mutters, deftly wrapping a skate about the lady's great clenched hand.) The long, long, slender skates procured, Popeye hammers them with his brawny fists to the bottom of Olive's shoes; she falls over a couple of times as Popeye delicately slips on his own. We roll over to the rink proper, and Popeye, swinging his arms as if rowing a canoe, a bit too gracefully demonstrates the proper technique; Olive attempts to move, but can only kick the air in desperation and flap her skinny arms as she falls headfirst into the railing around the rink. She frees her head by her own strength, but her feet, fanning out, become stuck in the same way as a result: with a struggle, one foot is freed, and an exasperated Olive is helped at last by Popeye, who gently releases the other foot and dusts off his indignant companion (adept enough to tap her foot impatiently), and he points out all of the other rinkgoers merrily whizzing about.
A: Popeye

Q: I have a test where I am given the following article, what is an answer for the question: What is the exact title of the portrait featuring the children of Ellis Agar, 2nd Earl of Normanton? ?  In February 1828, shortly before his 41st birthday, Etty soundly defeated John Constable by 18 votes to five to become a full Royal Academician, at the time the highest honour available to an artist. By this time, complaints about his supposed indecency were beginning to resurface. All but one of the 15 paintings Etty exhibited at the Royal Academy in the 1820s had included at least one nude figure, and Etty was acquiring a reputation for using respectable themes as a pretext for nudity.For the 1828 Summer Exhibition Etty exhibited three pictures; The World Before the Flood, Venus, the Evening Star and Guardian Cherubs. (The latter was a portrait of the children of Welbore Ellis Agar, 2nd Earl of Normanton, and was the only non-nude painting exhibited by Etty at the RA in the 1820s.) Although similar to his earlier works, they were technically more accomplished. Both The World Before the Flood and Venus attracted positive reviews in the press and were sold during their exhibition for substantial sums, although the purchase by the Marquess of Stafford of The World Before the Flood—a work containing scantily clad figures of both sexes—drew a pointed comment in The Gentleman's Magazine that it "will serve to accompany the private Titians of that nobleman". Despite the increasing number of complaints in the press about his use of nudity, respect for Etty from his fellow artists continued to rise, and in 1828 the British Institution awarded him £100 in recognition of his talent. As soon as the 1828 Summer Exhibition was over, Etty stopped work on other projects to concentrate on a diploma piece, without which he could not become a Royal Academician. This piece, Sleeping Nymph and Satyrs, was presented to the Academy in October, and in December 1828 Etty became a Royal Academician. It appears to me then that virtuous happiness being our lawful aim in life, that having Academic Rank and Fame the next thing to be considered (if God approve) is to seek that Decent Competency which shall make my latter days comfortable...
