Which statement best describes the condition of England, its population, and its language during the early 1500s?
Explanation
Thomas More chose to write Utopia in Latin because he intended the work for a learned international readership. At that time, English had little recognition or status outside England. The other options are incorrect: English travelers were generally expected to learn other European languages when journeying abroad; English was not yet displacing Latin among intellectuals; and moralists typically disapproved of adopting foreign fashions.
