What is the focus of the collection of medieval maps discussed?

• A. To review the biographies of medieval cartographers.
• B. To evaluate the use of color in medieval maps.
• C. To describe a collection of medieval maps and the process of its creation.
• D. To compare medieval maps with modern digital maps.

Answer: (C)

The focus is on describing a collection of medieval maps and explaining how that collection was created. The passage would cover what the maps include, where they came from, and the steps taken to assemble, preserve, and perhaps catalog or display the collection. This makes it the best choice because it centers on the collection itself and the process behind its creation, rather than on individual mapmakers, the use of color, or comparisons with modern digital maps.
