Answer 1

I believe the correct answer is: to persuade Parliament that simply because she has a child does not guarantee that the child will be a competent ruler.

 

If you are considering the excerpt from Queen Elizabeth’s “Response to Parliament's Request That She Marry”, I believe the correct answer is to persuade the Parliament that If she does not bear a child, there will be a competent ruler chosen, but the country would benefit more from her child succeeding the throne.
