I’m torn between barbers and tailors. I feel like I read something about barbers, but tailors also worked with sharp instruments.

I remember a practice question about barbers being involved in surgery during that time. It makes sense since they had the tools and skills for it.

I think butchers might have done some surgical work since they dealt with cutting meat, but I'm not entirely sure.

Barbers! That's my guess. They had some basic medical training and often performed minor surgeries like tooth extractions in the preindustrial period.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Butchers, tailors, and clergymen don't seem like obvious choices for surgeons. I'm leaning towards barbers, since they were often involved in bloodletting and other basic medical procedures back then.

I'm a bit stumped on this one. The options all seem plausible, but I'm not sure which one is the best fit. I'll have to read the question again and see if I can eliminate any of the choices.

Ah, I remember learning about this in my history class. Barbers often doubled as surgeons in the preindustrial period, as they had some basic medical knowledge and tools for procedures. I'm pretty sure that's the right answer.

Okay, let's see. I need to click on the green plus sign and then find the axis titles option. From there, I should be able to update the "Hours" title.

Imagine going to a pre-industrial surgeon and asking for a 'second opinion' - you'd probably get two different diagnoses!
