Which version of Margaret was likely aimed at a mixed audience including children?

• A. Cambridge Corpus Christi College 303 (Version 3)
• B. Trinity College Dublin 9 (Version 4)
• C. Cambridge Corpus Christi College 101 (Version 1)
• D. Oxford Bodleian Library 12 (Version 2)

Answer: (A)

A version that reaches a mixed audience, including children, is usually written with clear, straightforward language, a shorter and more linear narrative, and explicit moral or didactic points. This makes the story easy to follow when read aloud or shared with listeners of varying ages. The Cambridge Corpus Christi College 303, Version 3, fits this pattern: it presents Margaret’s story in accessible vernacular with simple syntax and memorable scenes that highlight lessons, which would appeal to both adults and younger readers. Other versions often preserve more ornate language, denser theological discussion, or scholarly concerns, which suit dedicated readers rather than a broad, younger audience. So this edition is the best fit for a mixed audience including children.
