Answer:
The meaning of the word "trace" in the sentence is:
A. (verb) 2. To study by going back over a progression step-by-step.
Explanation:
Since the word "trace" as used in the sentence is a verb, we can already eliminate options B and D. The sentence does not talk about the action of drawing something by following an outline of a shape. Instead, it talks of being able to find out information by going back, a step at a time. That is what we do when we study our ancestry. We go further and further back, finding members of our family that are more and more distant from us. Having that in mind, we can easily choose letter A as the best option:
A. (verb) 2. To study by going back over a progression step-by-step.
It’s going to be A, cause some people just don’t know how to act !
Answer:
The detail that gives implicit information about the modern view of the Elizabethan landscape is:
Ranges of hills and mountains are obstacles to Elizabethan travelers and very far from picturesque features, you go out of your way to see.
Explanation:
The question is not complete since it does not provide the excerpt of reference, here is the excerpt:
Read the excerpt from The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England.
The underlying reasons for such differences are not hard to find. In a society in which people still starve to death, an orchard is not a beautiful thing in itself: its beauty lies in the fact that it produces apples and cider. A wide flat field is "finer" than rugged terrain for it can be tilled easily to produce wheat and so represents good white bread. A small thatched cottage, which a modern viewer might consider pretty, will be considered unattractive by an Elizabethan traveler, for cottagers are generally poor and able to offer little in the way of hospitality. Ranges of hills and mountains are obstacles to Elizabethan travelers and very far from picturesque features, you go out of your way to see. Hills might feature in an Elizabethan writer's description of a county because of their potential for sheep grazing, but on the whole, he will be more concerned with listing all the houses of the gentry, their seats, and parks.
By reading the description of the Elizabethan Landscape or what it would be easily described as such by modern view, it is implicit that the ranges of hills and mountains are not part of what the landscape of an Elizabethan traveler would focus on, they mention the wonders of the land for being productive as well as the marvelous constructions of the rich.
It'd be smartest to do A first, and from there you can manage your time and answer the questions that won't take long at the end. if it's a reading test, you can look for keywords while skimming if you look at the questions first. All of the answer choices are good, but A is the best.
