What is the author’s purpose in this excerpt?

to explain how easy it was to store food properly during elizabethan times

to explain how the proper way to store food was taught to elizabethan cooks

to explain the complexities of proper food storage during elizabethan times

to explain the errors people made trying to store food properly during elizabethan times

I think the third option is probably the best one, because the first and last options are contradictory and the third one refers more so to a reader's reaction to an excerpt as opposed to an author's purpose. The second one sounds like too specific of a purpose and an unreasonable assumption as to why an author would write something. The author was probably trying to add detail so that a 21st century reader could feel like they are there, and I would assume that food storage was not only taught to Elizabethan cooks.

this is the answer , p = 1 + (1/10)x

step-by-step explanation:

we have,

at sea level pressure is 1 atmosphere (i.e at x =0, p0=1 atmosphere)

at depth 23 meters , pressure = 3.3 atmosphere

since the pressure increases at constant rate as the depth increases, so we can write a relation as:

p =p0 +   kx   , where p is the pressure  , p0 is the initial pressure, x is the depth and k is constant rate of increasing.

to find constant rate k, plug p = 3.3 , p0 = 1 and x= 23 meters

we get,

  3.3 = 1 + k * 23

k = 2.3 / 23   = 1/10

so we can write the function formula as:   p = 1 + (1/10)x

- "d.)  describe the iroquois belief of how the earth was created. for the iroquois, there was no reason to explain the importance of rituals. also, as animists, they didn't need a special elaboration as to why animals are important or why they had a crucial role in the earth's creation. this is just an authentic myth that explains the creation of the earth. every culture has produced creation myths."
