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.

An Open Boat by Alfred Noyes See - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses,
 The cloud of white faces, in the black open boat,
 The literary device used in these lines is personification to give the foam a human quality.

Through the characterization of sea as humanistic, animalistic and deistic, Crane profoundly believes that the sea is indifferent to human’s plight. Narrator describes the development of sea as earlier it “snarls, hisses, and bucks like a bronco” and later it purely “paces to and fro,”. This depicts that the sea can be both hurtful and helpful, sea doesn’t change its motivation in the light of men’s struggle nor it can be understood.

How does reading the Proclamation most affect Hagop? In Excerpt from my mother's voice: The Proclamation ​
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

A: It shocks him and makes him feel unsure about the future .

Explanation:

In Kay Mouradian's short story "Excerpt From My Mother's Voice: The Proclamation", the narrator tells the story of a man named Hagop Minishian and his family. Though it presents just a single scene where he was playing a game of backgammon with a friend, the coming of the proclamation led to the sudden shift in the atmosphere of the characters involved.

While playing the game and also reminiscing about his youngest daughter Flora's birth and life, the horseback riding Turkish soldier came and nailed a paper proclaiming the 'arrest/ surrender' of Armenians. This proclamation was read by everyone in the square, including <em><u>Hagop who was greatly shocked at the order and makes him feel unsure about what the future will hold for them.</u></em>
