This question is missing the excerpt. I've found it online. It is as follows:

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.

The detail from the text that best supports the inference that farm animals were very valuable in Elizabethan England is:

Taking livestock is theft, and theft is a felony which carries the death sentence.

Explanation:

Animals are still valuable, and if you try to steal someone's animal today and get caught, there will certainly be consequences. However, you will definitely not be sentenced to death for that.

In Elizabethan England, animals were just so valuable that people could lose their lives for trying to steal them. Think about it. In the US, for instance, not all states have the death penalty. Those that do have quite a high standard to judge someone so harshly. To get the death penalty, you will have need to have done someone horrific, such as taking the life of another human being. In Elizabethan England, you could get it for animal theft which, when we make the comparison to today's standards, shows how precious animals were.
