Reading the passage
The king's touch is the starting point, not the limit of Bloch's inquiry. He takes stories about monarchs curing disease and uses them to study the origins, meaning, and decline of ritual kingship. We need that larger historical concern, rather than a medical question about how to treat the disease.
Working the answers
- A
Scrofula explains what people supposedly sought to cure. Bloch's described project uses that belief to investigate kingship, not to discover the disease's causes or treatment.
- B
Lordship is the central institution discussed in Feudal Society. This transfers the topic of a different book to the king's-touch research.
- C
Ties between monarchs and vassals also belong to the later account of feudal dependency, not the specified study.
- DCorrect
The text says the anecdotes became an account of how ceremonial monarchy arose, what it signified, and how it declined (paragraph 2). That directly states what the king's-touch research investigates.
- E
Religious expressions appear in the discussion of how lordship shapes an era's thought and prayer. They aren't identified as the primary concern of the king's-touch study.
