But the result was just the same. I never could more than get one knotty thing learned before another presented itself. Now I had often seen pilots gazing at the water and pretending to read it as if it were a book; but it was a book that told me nothing.

How does the paragraph develop the central idea that Elizabethan beliefs influenced their understanding of disease? a. It provid

Natalka [10]

Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the paragraph, which is the following:

Elizabethans do not understand infection and contagion as we do. It is not that they are completely ignorant as to how illnesses spread—physicians believe they know perfectly well—it is rather that their understanding is very different from ours. The principal ideas underpinning most Elizabethan medical thinking come from Galen, who lived in the second century A.D. Physicians will cite him as an unquestionable authority when they explain to you that your health depends on a balance of the four humors: yellow bile or choler, black bile, phlegm, and blood. If there is too much choler in your body, you will grow choleric; too much blood and you will be sanguine; too much phlegm and you will be phlegmatic; and too much black bile makes you melancholic. It is from these imbalances that sickness arises.

Answer:

c. It details the belief that bodily humors affect health.

Explanation:

According to the paragraph from "The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England," the author Ian Mortimer makes reference to Galen's beliefs, which were spread to the physician world and everyone took for granted. In fact, they spoke about how four humors like yellow bile or choler, black bile, phlegm and blood influenced a person's health and how an unbalanced distribution of them produced sickness.
