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.

Which one is correct?<br><br> I prefer to do not talk.<br> I do not prefer to talk.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

"I do not prefer to talk" is grammatically better than "I prefer to do not talk."

Explanation:

The best way to say this is "I prefer not to talk"

"I do not prefer to talk" is grammatically correct but not commonly used. This statement may be used when one is asked (directly or indirectly) whether he/she prefers to talk or not. Saying "I do not prefer to talk" does not convey clearly what you really prefer.

"I prefer not to talk" conveys the message better. It also informs the audience what your preference is. Using negative of prefer is not common There may be <em>like</em> or do not like, but negative of some words like <em>suggest, advise, prefer, request</em> are ambiguous.

For example, "I advise not to talk" is better in conveying the sense than "I do not advise to talk" (because it does not tell what you really advise).

DOES ANYONE HAVE ACCESS TO ACCELERATED READER AT THE MOMENT? (MEAING YOU CAN TAKE TESTS)
Greeley [361]

Haha, not every school uses accelerated reader, keep that in mind, so not much people can answer your question

Lucky for you my school uses it.

Unlucky for you is that no one has it.

Let me explain, so basically you have to pay for accelerated reader as a school, so once you pay you have access to your own account where you can log in to every other computer to have access to the test.

The thing is, if you wanted to take a test at home, you will have to have not only the application, but also the school account to make sure that your test is scored and sent to the school


And only the princeable and maybe the vice know the account

And theyre not gonna give it to you as you can easily cheat on a test


Sorry bud, but atleast i gave you an explanation, glad to know theres someone else that has to deal with this pain in the butt besides me lol
