Question

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.

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

Explanation:

The way the author describes the countryside is quite a desolate one. He is challenging our views, since we often tend to romanticize the countryside. Elizabethans, on the other hand, saw it all as "wasteland", "good for nothing". Notice how those words chosen by the author convey the idea that the countryside, from the point of view of a sixteenth-century English person, is no cause of delight or admiration.
