Read the excerpt from the time traveler’s guide to elizabethan england. 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

Helen grey by christina georgina rossetti because one loves you, helen grey, is that a reason you should pout, and like a march wind veer about, and frown, and say your shrewish say? don't strain the cord until it snaps, don't split the sound heart with your wedge, don't cut your fingers with the edge of your keen wit; you may, perhaps. because you're handsome, helen grey, is that a reason to be proud? ✔ your eyes are bold, your laugh is loud, your steps go mincing on their way; but so you miss that modest charm which is the surest charm of all: take heed, you yet may trip and fall, and no man care to stretch his arm. stoop from your cold height, helen grey, come down, and take a lowlier place; come down, to fill it now with grace; come down you must perforce some day: for years cannot be kept at bay, and fading years will make you old; then in their turn will men seem cold, when you yourself are nipped and grey. how does the line in bold suggest a key idea developed in the poem? a) it compares real qualities with superficial ones. b) it confirms that helen is attractive. c) it implies beauty is nothing to celebrate. d) it suggests pride should be based on other things.
