Question 7 • English Language Arts 12

Read the excerpt from The Time Traveler’s Guide to Elizabethan England . Food is valuable in Elizabethan England, far more so than in the modern world. A flock of 180 sheep is worth more than the average detached house. The difficulties of transportation mean that the food supply depends heavily on what grows locally and how much surplus is available. It also depends on the season. Harvest is obviously a time of much grain and fruit. Which ideas are implicitly stated in the excerpt? Choose two correct answers.

Answer

Difficulty in food transportation limited food availability.
B
Food was more scarce during the winter months.
C
Not many Elizabethans ate exotic fruit.
