Read the excerpt from The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England.Simon Forman, who does attend plague sufferers, is a rare

exception: this is because he has himself survived the disease and believes he cannot catch it again. However, his remedy amounts to little more than avoiding eating onions and keeping warm. He has a recipe for getting rid of the plague sores that will afflict you afterward if you survive the disease; but that is a very big "if.” It seems the best advice is provided by Nicholas Bownd in his book Medicines for the Plague: "In these dangerous times God must be our only defense.”Which lines best summarize the excerpt?

Answer:

Explanation:

The remedy if you survive is the second best answer.

I think the best answer is the last sentence. <em>In these dangerous times, God must be our only defense.</em>

The reason I pick that is because the paragraph is very pessimistic. It does not offer much hope of survival, even from a person who has survived it (His remedy is onions and warm-- not really very effective). It also includes a tip that treats the after effects of the disease, but nothing very concrete about treating the disease itself.

The best choice after all the unsuccessful attempts is to turn to God which the writer believes is the only real hope.

Medicine could not do much is the point.

Answer:

The line that best summarizes the excerpt is While doctors like Simon Forman tried to help, others such as Nicholas Bownd relied on their faith in God.

Explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not give the options to answer, here are the options:

Keeping warm and eating onions was the only way to avoid the plague. This treatment was recommended by Nicholas Bownd.

Some Elizabethans believed that the diet caused the plague.

Nicholas Bownd suggested praying to God as the only cure.

Writer Simon Forman believed that God was the only answer to the plague.

He survived the disease and ate warm onions to treat his sores.

While doctors like Simon Forman tried to help, others such as Nicholas Bownd relied on their faith in God.

The general concept of the excerpt goes towards the cure of the plague back in the Elizabethan England, it is known that the medical advance of the time was not the best, but we have the two different perspectives where one gives ideas and experiment in order to find a solutions while the other only hope in the providence, all of the excerpt follows this thesis.

In some countries, every young person must serve two years in some form of military service. The United States Congress has, fro
GrogVix [38]
I personally agree with this. However, only in certain conditions. If the United States was put in another World War or something to where it was fought on the homefront of very close and the U.S. was losing, they would have to do it in order for our country to survive. 

The United States should not pass this without a VERY good reason. Although people should volunteer to risk their lives for our freedom and safety, It should not be required. There are some people who just are not fit for combat and some who should not be put through it. It should be a choice.

This country is about freedom. Being forced to join the army or military would be the opposite of freedom. This is supposed to be a country where the people rule, not where they are forced into combat. However, as stated before if it was ABSOLUTELY needed for us to survive as a country then it would be acceptable.
