If you are hungry, you might feel inclined to turn to poaching. But be careful: this is risky. Taking livestock is theft, and theft is a felony which carries the death sentence. Killing wild animals that live on another man’s land is also against the law; even taking a single fish from a river can result in a fine of a shilling or more. It is unlikely that you will be hanged for taking a wild animal such as a rabbit; but, even so, you will get a fine amounting to three times the value of the animal as well as three months in prison, and you will have to enter into a bond to guarantee your good behavior in the future; a second offense will be treated more harshly. If a gamekeeper attacks you and you defend yourself, you can be charged with assault. You may find yourself on the gallows if you injure him.

What is the author’s purpose in this excerpt?

A) to explain why many Elizabethans tried poaching

B)to explain why poaching was dangerous  

C) to explain why landowners punished poachers

D)to explain why poaching often was forgiven

Answer:

B)to explain why poaching was dangerous  

Explanation:

According to the excerpt, it is narrated that there are dangers to poaching. Some of these dangers which are backed by the law include:

  • getting the death sentence for stealing livestock
  • going to jail for killing wild animals who are on another man's land
  • getting fined for taking a fish from a river
  • getting charged for assault for defending yourself if a gamekeeper attacks you when you trespass
  • going to the gallows for injuring a gamekeeper you trespass on his land

Therefore, the author's purpose in this excerpt is to explain why poaching is dangerous.

Can someone please give me some cool ideas for my essay/writing prompt?

Considering you have to write about a teen who wants to earn money, make it interesting at least. 

You can have the teen (male or female) struggling to get money as they are handling high school, sports (if you want to make them do sports), and other things.

Everybody knows that it's definitely a struggle to be a student and work at the same time, but in the end it eventually it pays off. I'd base this idea off of society nowadays, where teens become pregnant to just get free money off of the government because they're a single mom. How about the teens who actually want to do something in life?

 - I'd start out with the teen a month into their job they have at the moment, juggling exams in school and other classes. Maybe they eventually figure out that the job they have currently is doing no good for them (insert a low pay check?). They are soon to graduate, and don't know if they can afford a college to go to. They decide to resign from their job and search for another, even if it's short time such as doing things for neighbors (mowing, babysitting, etc). They eventually find a job where they feel appreciated at and happy to work for. Soon enough, after all of the hard work they have been put through and done, they finally have enough money to pay for a college tuition, a college that they actually wanted to go to in the first place. I'd suggest to add in friends along the way that help the teen get motivated and where they are today.

It's just an idea, but this would be definitely something I would write about.

Answer:

<u>complex question</u>

Explanation:

Put simply, a complex question or complex sentence refers to a sentence that contains an independent clause and <u>one or more </u>dependent clauses.

  • Independent clause: simply refers to the part of a sentence that can express a complete thought or stand on its own. For example, in this case, the expression,<em> "Business school graduates are considered ideal candidates."</em>
  • Dependent clause: simply refers to the part of a sentence that cannot express a complete thought or stand on its own. For example, in this case, the expression, <em>"in some companies that hire them for careers as consultants."</em>
