Answer:     Sumptuary laws (from Latin sumptuāriae lēgēs) are laws that try to regulate consumption. Black's Law Dictionary defines them as "Laws made for the purpose of restraining luxury or extravagance, particularly against inordinate expenditures for apparel, food, furniture, etc." Historically, they were intended to regulate and reinforce social hierarchies and morals through restrictions on clothing, food, and luxury expenditures, often depending on a person's social rank.

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

C). Exploration and adventure in the 21st century

Explanation:

The context primarily functions <u><em>to educate the readers about the key thought/sense in which the story is developed and how the historical and cultural background affects the meaning of the text which comprehends their understanding.</em></u> Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
