Answer:
Most likely the paragraph would not be as vivid or engaging for the reader.

Remember, authors use figurative language such as metaphors or similes to paint a picture for the audience, or to get a certain point across. In this instance the author is trying to relate to the reader of the sheer power the wind possessed over the narrator's body.

Answer:
The correct answer is letter D) It provides the example of sweating sickness.
Explanation:
In this excerpt of The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England, the author is letting us readers know that there were diseases in Elizabethan England that do not exist in the modern world. He then proceeds to give us a couple of examples. According to the author, the most obvious example is the plague - which does not happen in modern times anymore. He does not describe the plague in detail, probably because it is very much studied in history courses at school. He then mentions the sweating disease, another sort of sickness that no longer exists in modern England. In this excerpt, the author does not provide a description of the landscape. We can, thus, eliminate options A, B, and C. The only reasonable option to choose is letter D.
