Question 8 • Quiz

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. Which statement is a logical inference based on details in the passage?

Answer
A
During the Elizabethan period, houses were very cheap.
B
During the Elizabethan period, food was often scarce.
C
During the Elizabethan period, sheep were in short supply.
D
During the Elizabethan period, food was mainly shipped in.

Explanation

The passage says food is valuable and that the supply depends on local harvests, available surplus, and the season. This suggests food could be limited or difficult to obtain at times, so “food was often scarce” is the best inference. The passage does not establish that sheep were in short supply, that food was mainly shipped in, or that houses were cheap.
