read the excerpt from the time travelers 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? select three options. food was more valuable in elizabethan times than it is today. detached houses are cheaper than large flocks of sheep. difficulty in food transportation limited food availability. not many elizabethans ate exotic fruit. food was more scarce during the winter months. more people had food during harvest season.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
- The text states food is more valuable in Elizabethan England than today, so this is explicitly stated, not implicit.
- There is no comparison between detached - houses and sheep in terms of cost in the text.
- The text mentions difficulties in transportation mean food supply depends on local growth, which implies limited food availability due to transportation issues.
- Since food supply depends on local growth and there are transportation difficulties, it is likely that not many ate exotic fruit.
- The text mentions harvest is a time of much grain and fruit, by contrast, it can be inferred that food was scarcer in winter months.
