Question

Which of the following measures was NOT introduced by the French revolutionaries to create a sense of collective identity?
(A) A new tricolour flag replacing the royal standard
(B) Renaming the Estates General as the National Assembly
(C) Making Latin the official language of France
(D) Adopting a uniform system of weights and measures

Accepted Answer

## Model Answer **(C) Making Latin the official language of France** The French revolutionaries discouraged regional dialects and made **French** (as spoken in Paris) the common language — not Latin. Source: Chapter 1, Section 1 – The French Revolution and the Idea of the Nation --- ## Explanation The textbook explicitly lists the measures French revolutionaries introduced: tricolour flag (A ✓), renaming Estates General as National Assembly (B ✓), uniform weights and measures (D ✓), and making **Parisian French** the common language. Latin was never mentioned. This is a straight recall MCQ — just identify the odd one out from the listed measures in the passage.
