What is the author’s purpose in this excerpt? to explain why many Elizabethans tried poaching to explain why poaching was dangerous to explain why landowners punished poachers to explain why poaching often was forgiven

the correct answer is a "it describes nora and mrs. linde's relationship". opcions b and d are not related to the content of the passage in any way. option c could be appropiate but it does not fully capture the effect of the dialogue, while option a is quite appropiate, since the dialogue not only exemplifies the relationship between the characters, but it also captures the effect in the excerpt. we get to know that mrs linde bosses around and already knows nora.

i believe the correct answer would be d.   saying that he was robbed of track, makes it seem like he's blaming the school for not being able to keep the track program.   hope this !
