Question: Coffeehouses in Europe —

Explanation: In the readings, European coffeehouses functioned simultaneously as bourgeois social spaces, as key institutions in the emergence of a new public sphere, and as politically sensitive arenas that worried authorities. Because they enabled discussion, criticism, and the circulation of news outside official control, they were both celebrated and contested, making all the statements correct. (Reading: Grehan; Breen). Quote: “Coffeehouses played a central role in the formation of a bourgeois public sphere while also provoking anxiety among political authorities.” (Breen, The Age of Intoxication).
