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

rich landowners do not normally sell their grain immediately after the harvest is in, when prices are low; instead they store it until the numerous small-scale producers have sold all theirs and prices go up again. pig farmers keep their flitches of bacon back in storage until they can get a better price for them later in the winter. such tactics are made even more profitable by the unhappy fact that harvests can fail, causing local—and sometimes national—food shortages.

what inference can be made about both rich landowners and pig farmers, based on this excerpt?

they often ran out of food supplies before the end of winter came.
they were the only food suppliers for elizabethan england all year long.
they cared more about making a profit than charging fair prices.
they made little profit from the food they supplied to their communities.

They cared more about making a profit than charging fair prices.

In this excerpt, the author states that landowners and pig farmers would often withhold their produce until prices went up. These prices went up because the demand increased. Sometimes, demand would be extremely high, like when crops failed and villages faced food shortages. This was a good opportunity for them to charge extremely high prices. The fact that landowners and pig farmers were so willing to increase their prices during food shortages show that their main aim was to make a profit.

- "about the claims : -

making a claim is just a fancy way of saying that you're stating your main point.' claims are not just opinions. a claim tells what you think is true about a topic based on your knowledge .

about the country claims : -

a counterclaim is just the opposite of a claim. counterclaims are also provable and supportable by reasons and evidence. not just, 'because i said so.' when you're planning an argument, you need to know what the counterclaim might be so that you can make sure that you disprove it with your reasons and evidence your research." - (catherineroberts)
