The question is not complete since it does not provide the excerpt of reference, here is the excerpt:
Read the excerpt from The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England.
The underlying reasons for such differences are not hard to find. In a society in which people still starve to death, an orchard is not a beautiful thing in itself: its beauty lies in the fact that it produces apples and cider. A wide flat field is "finer" than rugged terrain for it can be tilled easily to produce wheat and so represents good white bread. A small thatched cottage, which a modern viewer might consider pretty, will be considered unattractive by an Elizabethan traveler, for cottagers are generally poor and able to offer little in the way of hospitality. Ranges of hills and mountains are obstacles to Elizabethan travelers and very far from picturesque features, you go out of your way to see. Hills might feature in an Elizabethan writer's description of a county because of their potential for sheep grazing, but on the whole, he will be more concerned with listing all the houses of the gentry, their seats, and parks.
By reading the description of the Elizabethan Landscape or what it would be easily described as such by modern view, it is implicit that the ranges of hills and mountains are not part of what the landscape of an Elizabethan traveler would focus on, they mention the wonders of the land for being productive as well as the marvelous constructions of the rich.
Answer:
Humans living in or near the town.
Explanation:
Rachel Carson's short fairytale "A Fable For Tomorrow" is one of her collection of stories in her book "Silent Spring". This fable pictures a town full of life that suddenly changes to a deserted town after numerous maladies and illnesses overtook it.
Though the story started off with a quaint, nice, and peaceful town, it slowly progresses into a deserted, imaginary town. This was because of the <em>"a white granular powder [that] had fallen like snow upon the roofs and the lawns, the fields, and streams."</em> Though Carson admits in the end that this is no real story of any town, in particular, it still can be a possibility in many parts of America. And the source of this <em>"white powder"</em> is, as Carson wants to point out, the frequent use of pesticides and chemicals by humans.
Thus, the correct answer is the last option.
If your options are: <span>A. Restful, B. Hopeful, C. Excited, and D. Depressed - in my opinion, the correct answer is B. Hopeful. The speaker is not restful, nor is this pure excitement or depression. He is rather distressed because of all the troubles he mentions, but he still tries to reconcile with the fact that life is what it is - it mixes sunshine with the clouds and the rain, and treats all people equally. These thoughts underline hope. He still grieves, but hope won't let him turn the grief into despair.</span>
