Answer:
to explain why landowners punished poachers
Explanation:
The excerpt talked about what punishments would be given if you killed an animal
That's why to explain why Elizabethans tried poaching & to explain why poaching was often forgiven doesn't make sense.
To explain why landowners punished poachers is better than to explain why poaching was dangerous is because the excerpt talks about the legal punishments of killing an animal, instead of the danger possibility of being attacked.
The correct answer is D. The details show that despite their illicit intentions, the men did not plan to hurt anyone.
Answer:
A (or C, but I think A)
Explanation:

While on the island of the Cyclops, Ulysses decides to stay because he is curious about the people who live there. He hopes to enjoy the hospitality of the island's inhabitants. Ulysses’s decision puts his men in danger when they are confronted by Polyphemus, who traps them in his cave and eats two of the men. Greed and pride drive Ulysses’s choices. Ulysses wants to enjoy the spoils of the island, and he believes that his reputation as a great warrior ensures that the people living on the island will welcome him. While he leads the men out of the cave, he lets his pride endanger the group one more time. While leaving the island, he shouts out his own name to Polyphemus to let him know that he, “Ulysses,” is the one who has blinded him. Now knowing the real identity of his attacker, the Cyclops pleads with his father, Neptune, the god of the seas, to punish Ulysses.
In the story of the Cyclops, Ulysses comes across as a clever leader and a brave hero who saves his men using his intelligence. However, he also shows his mortal failings in his desire for fame and glory, which puts him and his men in trouble at sea.
