</span>Wealth
In “Kaddo’s Wall,” the main character,
Kaddo, had a surplus of corn that was so great he did not know what really to do with
it. The one thing he knew for certain, however, is
that he did not want to share his corn with those less fortunate. Instead he has the corn made into flour and
the flour made into bricks with which he builds a wall around his house. The idea that Kaddo had so much corn that he
could use a life-sustaining substance to build a wall is quite opulent. Thus, because it is with (and out of) his
wealth that the wall is made, the wall symbolizes wealth.

Answer:
The central idea of this paragraph is:
D) Elizabethans faced a variety of challenges in staying healthy.
Explanation:
This paragraph concerns the varied and terrible challenges people who lived in Elizabethan England had to face constantly. <u>It was not only the case of worrying about one specific disease. They were constantly bombarded with several types of diseases, killed by viruses and bacteria. And that was not all. They were also killed in acts of violence and frequently got hurt while working. This paragraph, thus, shows us that staying healthy in Elizabethan England was a most difficult task. No wonder even young people died in great numbers. Their notion of hygiene and safety back then was far inferior when compared to ours.</u>
