Which detail from the excerpt best supports the inference that food was more consistently available in larger towns? O Pig farmers keep their fitches of bacon back in storage until they can get a better price for them later in the winter. O Such tactics are made even more profitable by the unhappy fact that harvests can fail, causing local and sometimes national--food shortages. O Large towns are less vulnerable, being part of an international market that sees preserved foods traded long-distance, but much of the countryside is dependent on fresh food. O After a poor harvest, prices for all commodities--not just grain-rise dramatically and the poor are unable to make ends meet.​
