Remaining healthy in Elizabethan England was a challenge.
This is the central idea of the passage. We know this because it says, "there is no concept of 'health and safety'. Other details that reveal this as a central idea are "contemporary standards of cleanliness will worry you", "People die every day from unknown ailments", and "Infectious diseases periodically kill thousands". This all shows that remaining healthy in England was a challenge.
<span>After reading the options, I would select the three following:
- "Shingled one- and two-room houses clamped themselves to the rocks like oysters."
</span><span>- "The chopping block one man was using to split his cordwood."
</span><span>- "In front of almost all of them was a dory or two, some overturned"
Modern homes are not usually shingled, and the shingled style for houses was popular long ago. Also, men usually don't need to use chopping blocks to split the cord wood because stores have this readily available. Finally, a dory is a type of boat and it's rather old-fashioned in my perspective.

The carp is used to represent the pain and injustice of her father’s imprisonment. “The Carp is dedicated to Wang’s father, and many of the poems in her little book tell stories from that period.
