Answer and Explanation:

You: I can tell by the look in your eyes that you're thinking of eating me.

Tiger: That's true. I am indeed.

You: Well, I'd like to advise you against that. If you eat me, your chances of surviving afterwards will diminish.

Tiger: I doubt that. If I eat you, I will gain strength. Consequently, I'll be able to survive for a few more days. That might be enough for a ship to show up and rescue me.

You: That reasoning is good, but flawed. Yes, you will gain strength that will last for a few days. However, if a ship does not show up in a few days, you will die. Fishing is not one of your abilities as a tiger, so you won't catch anything to eat after devouring me. Also, if a ship does show up, the crew may very well be afraid of taking you with them for fear that you might attack and eat them.

Tiger: I see... go on.

You: If you keep me alive, we will solve all of those issues. I can fish for the both of us. We'll both maintain our strength until a ship shows up, even if it takes long. When that happens, they will certainly take us in. I will vouch for you, letting them know you were civilized enough not to eat me. Therefore, they can trust you not to eat them.

Tiger: I see your point, and it is a good one. I promise not to eat you if you promise to keep your word.

You: I promise. We have a deal.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Storage of food was important.

Besides, he specifically mentions that "[w]ine and meat must be kept apart." Finally, he makes reference to how winter months were expected to produce less food: "Most yeomen will have vats and presses for making cheeses—a valuable source of protein in the long winter season."

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
LiRa [457]

Answer: "By contrast, the plantation had only one purpose: to create a single product that could be grown, ground, boiled, dried, and sold to distant markets."

Explanation:

<em>Sugar Changed the World </em>is a book written by Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos. In the book, they explore the history of sugar, particularly in slave trade.

In this excerpt, the author's claim is that plantation was considered as a revolutionary way of making sugar: the whole process from planting the seeds to drying and selling it was happening in one place. It was the first time in human history that the farms were organized in such a way. The correct answer is, therefore, the second option.
