Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The night watch in England was responsible for patrolling the streets at night to maintain order and prevent crime. It was typically made up of lower-class individuals who were not otherwise employed, such as vagrants and laborers. Therefore, a homeless man would be more likely to be a member of the night watch than a female playwright or a noble lord. A keystone cop, while also a lower-class individual, is not a historically accurate option, as they were a fictional group created for silent comedies in the early 1900s, long after England's night watch system had been disbanded.
