Harding and Kerrigan were American skaters, the "darlings" in this sport and despite being rivals in the sport, they maintained a cordial relationship outside the courts.

One day, on the eve of the National Skating Championship in Detroit, Kerrigan was heavily attacked with a metal bar. Someone hit the metal bar on her legs, leaving the athlete severely injured and unable to participate in the championship, requiring Harding to replace her.

An investigation was opened to assess the case and it was discovered that Harding's husband and bodyguard were responsible for trying to break Kerrigan's legs with the iron rod.

After intense media coverage and much research, Kerrigan assumed that she knew about her husband's and bodyguard's plans and that she felt sorry for not having stopped them. However, the incident took away all Kerrigan's credibility in the sport. She was already known for being temperamental, but she was said to be immoral, unethical and dishonest.

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.
