Question

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.

Explanation:

• Difficulty in food transportation limited food availability: The text states "The difficulties of transportation mean that the food supply depends heavily on what grows locally", which implies that transportation issues restricted food availability.
• Not many Elizabethans ate exotic fruit: Since food supply was local - based (due to transportation difficulties), it's reasonable to infer that exotic (non - local) fruits were not commonly eaten.
• Food was more scarce during the winter months: The text mentions that food supply depends on the season and harvest is a time of abundance. By implication, non - harvest times (like winter) would have less food.

Answer:

C. Difficulty in food transportation limited food availability.
D. Not many Elizabethans ate exotic fruit.
E. Food was more scarce during the winter months.
