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.
Italicized words are those which are written in a ‘slant’ way. We often come across such italicized words and sentences in novels, poems, and written documents.
Italicized style of writing is used mainly to draw attention on the important things.
In the sentence, ’Although the women was attacked by a swarm of bees, she managed to escape with little injury’, the term that should be used as an Italicized word is probably ‘attacked.’ When readers read attacked, it makes them curious to know as to what will happen next? So attacked is mostly the word which can draw a readers attention.
