Read the passage from The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England. There are no roads across this wasteland, only track ways. Elizabethans see it as good for nothing but pasture, tin mining, and the steady water supply it provides by way of the rivers that rise there. Many people are afraid of such moors and forests. They are "the ruthless, vast and gloomy woods . . . by nature made for murders and for rapes,” as Shakespeare writes in Titus Andronicus. Certainly no one will think of Dartmoor as beautiful. Sixteenth-century artists paint wealthy people, prosperous cities, and food, not landscapes.

What is the effect of the author’s word choice in the passage?

It creates a condescending tone that conveys the author’s dislike of the countryside.

It supports the author’s purpose of challenging the image of the romantic countryside.

It emphasizes the author’s position that travelers should go visit the countryside.

It uses second-person point of view to compare the author’s and reader’s views of the countryside.
