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.

Answer:

Alvarez shows how her lifelong fascination with her parents' life under the dictatorship was the basis for her writing is correct.

Explanation:

"A genetics of justice" is a book by Julia Alvarez, an American poet and writer whose parents were born in Dominican Republic and lived under Rafael Trujillo's dictatorship, that took place between 1930 and 1961. The book develops this topic and also what the author's perspective was.

In the three excertps, readers can understand that Alvarez learnt a lot from what her parents lived, and this seems to be a very reliable source for her, including words and non verbal signs, such as whispering and her parents' faces when they discussed something related to Trujillo. This fascination and mystery surrounding the dictator could have been the basis for her writing, as we can see in this work and some others written by her; we can also see this in the last excerpt, when her sister told her mother Julia was writing about this topic.
