Sugar is different from honey. It offers a stronger sweet flavor, and like steel or plastic, it had to be invented. In the Age o

f Sugar, Europeans bought a product made thousands of miles away that was less expensive than the honey from down the road. That was possible only because sugar set people in motion all across the world—millions of them as slaves, in chains; a few in search of their fortunes. A perfect taste made possible by the most brutal labor: That is the dark story of sugar.

Answer:

Fourth Option <em>“A perfect taste made possible by the most brutal labor.”</em>

Explanation:

Author's main purpose of this excerpt is about difficulties, problems and labor involved with the production of sugar. He also points out that sugar is sweeter than honey. Both these purposes are fulfilled in this quotation i.e. <em>“A perfect taste made possible by the most brutal labor.”</em> A perfect taste for sweeter taste of sugar, and the most brutal labor for difficulties and labor put in for the production of sugar.

First, second and third options are not correct because they support only one part of the author's main purpose i.e. either difficulty or taste.

Write a dialogue between two syudents who have distinct views on the qualities of captain or a leader.
leonid [27]

Student A: I believe that an authoritarian leader can be more efficient in his work and can lead the team to success faster than a non-authoritarian leader.

Student B: Why?

Student A: Because a leader who imposes himself and promotes a rigid position and without many friendships manages to impose a strong respect, making everyone talk about his activities without excuse.

Student B: I don't agree with his position. I believe that an authoritarian leader does not promote respect, but fear in his team. Fear is a bad feeling that causes the team to not do quality work, in addition, this type of leader promotes the dissolution of the team, which ends up defeating it.

Student A: What do you suggest, then?

Student B: I suggest a leader who promotes friendship and well-being, allowing a comfortable environment, where everyone can do their best without suffering pressure.

Student A: I think that delays the work.

Student B: On the contrary. This type of leader promotes effective and fluid work, which speeds up the completion of all activities.

Student A: This type of leader does not promote respect in the same way, but promotes admiration.

Student B: But admiration leads to respect and authoritarianism leads to abandonment.

Student A: I believe that you are right on some points, but I am still not convinced, we can meet tomorrow and deepen this discussion.

Student B: Sure.
