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

elizabethan people suffer from some afflictions that no longer exist in modern england. plague is the obvious example but it is by no means the only one. sweating sickness kills tens of thousands of people on its first appearance in 1485 and periodically thereafter. it is a terrifying disease because sufferers die within hours. it doesn’t return after a particularly bad outbreak in 1556 but people do not know whether it has gone for good; they still fear it, and it continues to be part of the medical landscape for many years.

how does the paragraph develop the central idea that elizabethans suffered from diseases that are unfamiliar to modern readers?

it lists diseases found only in modern england.
it describes the plague in great detail.
it gives a description of the english landscape.
it provides the example of sweating sickness.

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.
