Part 2: Summarizing Central Ideas about Elizabethan England

Question 1 • TX-English IV

Which sentence most effectively helps readers envision a scene?

Answer

"The costumes, however, are splendid; many lords and merchants leave their best gowns to their servants . . ."

"At the same time they have an awareness of the changing world that sets them wholly apart from the Middle Ages."

"There is a low murmur of voices throughout the play as women shoulder their way through the crowd, selling apples, nuts . . ."

"The Lord Chamberlain's Men have Richard Burbage, who takes the lead in many of Shakespeare's plays."

Explanation

Choice C gives readers concrete sights and sounds: a low murmur of voices, women moving through a crowd, and vendors selling apples and nuts. These details make it easiest to picture the scene. The other choices mainly offer general information or evaluation rather than a vivid moment.
