Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Other bad years—when the price of grain is 20 percent or more above the rolling average—are 1573, 1586, and 1600.

Step-by-step explanation:

The text presented explains the struggles of England in the production of grains from 1594 to 1600, which was part of Elizabethian England. Additionally, it can be inferred many citizens of this time could not afford grains during some years, based on details such as "Other bad years—when the price of grain is 20 percent or more above the rolling average—are 1573, 1586, and 1600". Because the increase in price and the scarcity of the product implied not all citizens had the money to pay for grains and had to replace these with other products. According to this, the detail that best supports the inference is detail B.
