Nominal means small…that it the key.

Great sums of money are out. Tremendous is the opposite of nominal. Military support has nothing to do with the passage and that also could be see as being quite a large commitment. The only answer that fits is A. loyalty in name only means it is a small commitment and they are not very loyal which would correspond with the word nominal.

The word “nominal” can clue you in on the answer here. It looks a little like “name”, and that’s because they come from the same root word. Also, the sentence goes on to say that Europe was “actually dominated by local magnates”, showing that the allegiance to the king was not military(B), monetary(C), or tremendous(D). The best answer is C.

It means A. Nominal means “in name”. So nominal allegiance means loyalty in name only.
