English

Phantasy [73]3 years ago

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.

Excerpt adapted from Telling All Americans’ Stories: Introduction to European Heritage
likoan [24]

Answer:

The author describes how people came from “England,  Ireland, the German and Russian empires, and  Scandinavian countries—to escape famine, political  and economic oppression, or in search for greater  opportunities in America.”

This detail shapes the idea because it lists European  countries that the people came from and  explains several reasons why they left for America.

Explanation:

The above is the best way to organize the sentences to express how the author develops a central idea in the passage.

This is correct because it stated a line from the excerpt that points to the central idea. It was from this line that the idea of the passage can be seen. Also, this line of detail contributes to shaping the idea. Therefore, the above arrangement is correct.
