Question

read the excerpt from the time travelers guide to elizabethan england. which ideas are implicitly stated in the excerpt? select three options. 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. 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:

• For the first option: The text directly states "Food is valuable in Elizabethan England, far more so than in the modern world", so it is explicitly stated, not implicit.
• For the second option: "A flock of 180 sheep is worth more than the average detached house" is a direct comparison, so it is explicitly stated, not implicit.
• For the third option: "The difficulties of transportation mean that the food supply depends heavily on what grows locally" implies that difficulty in food transportation limited food availability (since if it was easy to transport, they could get food from non - local sources more easily).
• For the fourth option: Since food supply depends on local growth and transportation difficulties, it is implied that exotic (non - local) fruits were not commonly eaten.
• For the fifth option: Harvest is a time of much food, and since seasons affect food supply, it is implied that non - harvest (like winter) would have less food (more scarce).
• For the sixth option: "Harvest is obviously a time of much grain and fruit" directly states there is more food during harvest, so it is explicitly stated, not implicit.

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.
