Read the excerpt from The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England. Another familiar disease is malaria, which Elizabethans

refer to as ague or fever. You might associate this with more tropical countries of the modern world but in marshy areas in sixteenth-century England, such as the Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire Fens, the Norfolk Broads, and Romney Marsh in Kent, it kills thousands. No one suspects that it has anything to do with mosquitoes; rather people believe it is the corrupted air arising from the low-lying dank marsh (hence the term mal-aria). As a result, you will have no chance of getting proper treatment for the disease. How does the paragraph expand on the central idea that malaria was a deadly disease in Elizabethan England? It proves that malaria is spread by mosquitoes in swampy areas. It gives a detailed description of the area known as Romney Marsh. It explains Elizabethan misconceptions about the spread of malaria. It compares common malaria symptoms to influenza symptoms.

This paragraph expands on the central idea that malaria was a deadly disease in Elizabethan England by explaining Elizabethan misconceptions about the spread of malaria.

In this excerpt,<u> the author explains that it is a misconception thinking that malaria is only present in the most tropical countries </u>since this disease spread over the marshy areas of England during the sixteenth century, such as Norfolk Broads and Romney Marsh in Kent. Moreover, <u>another misconception that the writer refers to is the belief that malaria is caused by bad air</u> when the spread of malaria actually has to do with mosquitoes.

Grandfather taught us the prayers they would say for the com harvest each year. As he talked, he rattled a few dried kernels in
Goryan [66]

Answer:

The option which best explains how the historical passage might enhance a reader's understanding of the personal narrative is:

B. The historical passage connects the personal experience of planting and harvesting corn with technical information about farming.

Explanation:

We can easily eliminate option A because the passage does not show evidence of why the Wampanoag were once hunter-gatherers. Quite the opposite, instead of gathering they are farming in the passage.

Letter C claims that the story told by the grandfather is more factual. Looking this passage up online, I found the previous lines. The grandfather is actually telling a sort of fantastic story involving Mother Earth and the prairie rabbit. We can also eliminate this option.

Letter D claims that the passage is about modern technology and how it changed the Wampanoag's relationship with their harvest. However, the passage does not mention technology at all.

The best option then seems to be letter B. While the grandfather is talking about his experience with planting and farming, the narrator is describing it in more technical details: the types of crops that were sowed together and why.
