Question

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? Select 3 options.

A. Food was more valuable in Elizabethan times than it is today.
B. Detached houses are cheaper than large flocks of sheep.
C. Difficulty in food transportation limited food availability.
D. Not many Elizabethans ate exotic fruit.
E. Food was more scarce during the winter months.
F. More people had food during harvest season.

Answer 1

The correct answers are D. Not many Elizabethans ate exotic fruit. E. Food was more scarce during the winter months. F. More people had food during harvest season.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a text, implicit ideas differ from explicit ones because implicit ideas are not directly mentioned; instead, the reader understands these ideas based on analysis and connected of details. For example, the idea that food had more value in Elizabethan time is explicit because this is directly mentioned in "Food is valuable in Elizabethan England, far more so than in the modern world".

In this context, the following three ideas are implicit:

D. Not many Elizabethans ate exotic fruit: This idea can be inferred from the fact people only ate products locally produced, this shows it was difficult for people in England during this time to ate fruits from Asia or America that were exotic.

E. Food was more scarce during the winter months_ Similar to option D and E this idea not directly stated but the author mentions during food availability depended on the season, which suggests seasons with harsh weathers such as winter lead to low availability of food

F. More people had food during harvest season: This idea can be concluded based on the phrase "Harvest is obviously a time of much grain and fruit" because this suggests during this time people had more food.
