Keeping in mind the historical context within which the pastons lived (e. g., the black death was rampant at the time), which of the following provides the reader with the best example of an implicit message? a. in john paston ii's letter to his mother, he mentions his brother's burial site, but not the cause of his death. b. in her letter dated february 1476, margery brews professes undying love for john paston, esq. c. in john the second's letter to his mother, he speaks of his plan to arrange a meeting with the lord chamberlain. d. in john paston's letter written friday, 14, 1476, he expresses his fear that he may have to go to war.

the correct answer is d. in john paston's letter written friday, 14, 1476, he expresses his fear that he may have to go to war.

indeed, although the black death was ravaging europe, the pastons were relatively safe from it due to their social status as they were part of the landed gentry. it is clear that the vast majority of the victims of the pandemic were the poor. the reason why he is weary of having to go to war is because at the particular time england was also devastated by the war of the roses and paston, being a courtesan was inevitably involved.

this need to be done in 15 minutes kind of passed the 15 minutes by now sorry dude but i can list some of my thoughts down for you : (

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.

though it is ironic of him of him to consider himself a romancer rather than a novelist despite of the innocent women killings in the salem witch trials which occurred in colonial massachusetts between 1692 and 1693 .
