Instructions ›

Read the text and answer the question by selecting all the correct responses. You will need to select more than one response.

The Coat of Arms was introduced by King Richard I of England in the 1190s, apparently as a version of the arms of the Duchy of Normandy. Normandy currently uses two leopards, although an alternative historical version uses three leopards identical to the English arms. According to one tradition, following the Norman Conquest, an extra leopard was added to two existing Norman leopards to represent the combined Anglo-Norman realm. According to another tradition, the two leopards were combined with the single lion of Aquitaine on the acquisition of these continental territories by the English Crown. Other heraldic authorities have claimed that at an early stage in the development of heraldry the number of Norman leopards was not fixed and that it is as per the Norman Conquest, an extra leopard was added. Simply a matter of design as to why England has ended up with three heraldic leopards (now called lions) and Normandy with two.

Option 2: "As per the Norman Conquest, an extra leopard was added."

Explanation: The text explicitly mentions that according to one tradition, following the Norman Conquest, an extra leopard was added to the existing two Norman leopards. This directly supports the correctness of this option.

Option 1: "The Coat of Arms was the same as of the arms of the Duchy of Normandy."

Explanation: The text states that the Coat of Arms was introduced as a version of the arms of the Duchy of Normandy, indicating that they are similar but not the same. This option misrepresents the relationship between the two.

Option 3: "As per the Norman Conquest, two leopards were added."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text states that only one extra leopard was added, not two. Therefore, it contradicts the information provided.

Option 4: "There had been a change in the number of Norman."

Explanation: The text indicates that the number of Norman leopards was not fixed and that changes occurred over time, particularly with the addition of an extra leopard. This aligns with the statement in this option.

Option 5: "They work according to the traditions."

Explanation: This option is vague and does not accurately reflect the text. The traditions mentioned in the text refer to specific historical accounts regarding the leopards, not a general principle of operation. Thus, it lacks clarity and relevance.
