Milo began to think as hard as he could (which was very difficult, since he wasn't used to it). He thought of birds that swim an

d fish that fly. He thought of yesterday's lunch and tomorrow's dinner. He thought of words that began with J and numbers that end in 3. And, as he thought, the wheels began to turn. "We're moving, we're moving," he shouted happily. "Keep thinking," scolded the watchdog. —The Phantom Tollbooth, Norton Juster In this passage, the word wheels has a literal meaning and an idiomatic meaning. Explain how the meanings differ.

How does the use of the word transformed support the claim in this passage?
Lera25 [3.4K]

From the 1750s on, sugar transformed how Europeans ate. Chefs who served the wealthy began to divide meals up. Where sugar had previously been used either as a decoration (as in the wedding feast) or as a spice to flavor all courses, now it was removed from recipes for meat, fish, and vegetables and given its own place—in desserts. Dessert as the extremely sweet end to the meal was invented because so much sugar was available. But the wealthy were not the only ones whose meals were changing. Sugar became a food, a necessity, and the foundation of the diet for England's poorest workers.

It indicates that the addition of sugar was a significant change to Europeans' diets.

Answer: Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the paragraph that has been shown above, the way the Europeans ate in the 1750s and the change in their way of eating has been talked about. It shows that there has been addition of sugar in their diet.

Earlier sugar was only used as a way of decoration or as a spice to flavor up all the courses. But later the intake of sugar increased a lot in the diet of the Europeans and it became a necessity, it became a food.

Answer:

Explanation:

The key in Risk Management is to make a well-informed decision to have the greatest possibility of avoiding damages or to be able to control them if they happen.  

In the example, even if a wire fence has been installed to keep wild marine life outside of the swimming area, the best to do is to confirm if the suitable authorities have approved that fence so we are sure, first of all that swimming is really safe and, that in front of an undesirable event, we will have someone to whom raise a claim against.
