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.
