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.

the author is intending to draw attention to the plight of refugees, editorial and biography support this. both workpieces make the reader empathize with enrique as well as with the other young migrants from central america. the writer, however, is using a different approach to each text.

the editorial includes strong words to persuade readers. he is trying hard to convince readers in the us to change its refugee approach.

the biography relies on narrative techniques and figurative language which the writer uses wisely in the setting, characterization, and personification to educate readers on the topic.
