Subject: very sparse They took us to an old jail to show what conditions were like for the 19th century criminals – very sparse – including the infamous Ned Kelly a famous robber who wore a suit of armour!помогите справиться с предложением плиз Они отвели нас в старую тюрьму, чтобы показать какие были условия у преступников 19 века – очень редких преступников – включая печально известного грабителя Нэда Келли, который носил доспехи. вот контекст: But too soon, we had to fly to Melbourne to join the rest of the group (28 of us) all from England. We spent three days in Melbourne, a wonderful city indeed with fine parks, modern buildings, and excellent shops. We met 2 distant relatives who have lived in Melbourne for nearly 50 years. They took us to an old jail to show what conditions were like for the 19th century criminals – very sparse – including the infamous Ned Kelly a famous robber who wore a suit of armour! They also took us to the top of the tallest building in Melbourne 55 floors up where you got a wonderful view over the whole city. |

зд. very sparse conditions |
имеется в виду, что тюрьмы не переполнены, места свободного много. Сейчас в Юкей перезаполненные тюрьмы стали проблемой |
hmmm.... I tender that "sparse" here means spartan, ascetic, primitive, uncomfortable etc... imho |
Shumov, that might be the case |
если так, то это пример Unclear Referents |
