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.

Why does Stacey’s wool jacket become a more emotionally charged symbol as the plot unfolds?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

It becomes an emotionally charged symbol when He gave it away to cunny T.J and uncle Hammer seized the opportunity to teach him some lessons about life.

Explanation:

Stacey's wool jacket was a gift that was handed to him by Uncle Hammer. Stacey's parents were of little means so the expensive jacket though a little oversize got the admiration of all in the house including Stacey himself. But when they went to church and T.J., his friend saw him in the jacket, he covered his jealousy by taunting Stacey, telling him that he looked like a preacher in the coat. Stacey who was intimidated by this later gave his coat away.

When Unce Hammer learned of this, he was angry but used the opportunity to teach Stacey that when he had something good, he should never be intimidated by others or convinced to give it away. He maintained that T.J. should have the coat since he knew its value and was able to make Stacey give it away.
