The correct answer is D) towns with an abundance provides for those with less.
The central idea of the excerpt is that Utopias make a regular effort to take care for those in need. The detail that best supports this idea is “towns with an abundance provides for those with less.”
The text from the novel “Utopia”, says that in the council of Amurot “they examine what towns abound in provisions and what are under scarcity, that so the one may be furnished for the other. The text continues to say that this is done freely, with no Exchange. So the main idea of the excerpt is that Utopias make a regular effort to take care for those in need and that towns with an abundance provide for those with less.
The text is taken from the fiction novel “Utopia” written by Thomas More in 1516.
