property is entailed to the nearest male heir.
What can be said about the position of young Elizabeth Bennett in the rural society of 18th century England?

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Immaterial

Unrelated means lacking a logical or causal relation.
Extraneous means something that is not pertinent to the matter under consideration.
