What is the author’s purpose in this excerpt? to explain why many Elizabethans tried poaching to explain why poaching was danger
Ilya [14]

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

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:

The author's purpose in this excerpt is:

B) to explain why poaching was dangerous

Explanation:

The excerpt explains how poaching was punished during the Elizabethan era in England. It turns out that it was extremely dangerous to resort to poaching, even if you were really hungry. Poaching was punished in severe ways, unthinkable to the modern society. Killing a rabbit would not be punished with death, but would be expensively fined anyway. There was, however, the possibility of going to prison or being hanged, depending on what it is that you did or what animal you killed. As we can see, the author is mainly explaining why poaching was dangerous at that time. Therefore, the correct answer is letter B.

What is a false dilemma?
katovenus [111]

A false dilemma is a type of informal fallacy in which something is falsely claimed to be an "either/or" situation, when in fact there is at least one additional option.

The false dilemma fallacy can also arise simply by accidental omission of additional options rather than by deliberate deception. For example, "Stacey spoke out against capitalism, therefore she must be a communist" (she may be neither capitalist nor communist). "Roger opposed an atheist argument against Christianity, so he must be a Christian" (When it's assumed the opposition by itself means he's a Christian). Roger might be an atheist who disagrees with the logic of some particular argument against Christianity. Additionally, it can be the result of habitual tendency, whatever the cause, to view the world with limited sets of options.

Some philosophers and scholars believe that "unless a distinction can be made rigorous and precise it isn't really a distinction". An exception is analytic philosopher John Searle, who called it an incorrect assumption that produces false dichotomies.Searle insists that "it is a condition of the adequacy of a precise theory of an indeterminate phenomenon that it should precisely characterize that phenomenon as indeterminate; and a distinction is no less a distinction for allowing for a family of related, marginal, diverging cases."Similarly, when two options are presented, they often are, although not always, two extreme points on some spectrum of possibilities; this may lend credence to the larger argument by giving the impression that the options are mutually exclusive of each other, even though they need not be. Furthermore, the options in false dichotomies typically are presented as being collectively exhaustive, in which case the fallacy may be overcome, or at least weakened, by considering other possibilities, or perhaps by considering a whole spectrum of possibilities, as in fuzzy logic.

I believe it’s “People should not fear space weather because violent events are rare and space is vast” because the paragraph wants to convince you that space weather shouldn’t be one of things you should be worrying about.
