Answer 2

Assertion: Tithe was a tax levied by the church. - True.

Reason: it is comprised of one-tenth of the agricultural produce. - True.

​Tithe:

• The tithe was a levy that was levied on agricultural products and was paid to the church by the clergy.
• Therefore, "Tithe" in the French sense was a religious tax levied by the church that represented one-tenth of agricultural output.
• The funds were used to sustain the clergy, upkeep churches, and provide aid to the underprivileged.
• Tithing was a significant source of funding for the building of numerous beautiful churches throughout Europe.
• Tithing eventually became required as Christianity spread throughout Europe, despite significant opposition.
• Beginning in the sixth century, church law forbade it, and beginning in the eighth century, secular law began to enforce it in Europe.
• Payment became required in England in the 10th century under both temporal and ecclesiastical penalties, introduced by Edmund I.
• To curb abuses, Pope Gregory VII forbade lay people from owning tithes in the eleventh century.

Hence, both assertion and reason are true statements and the reason given is the correct explanation for the assertion made.
