Question

What evidence from the passage best supports the inference that white sugar was rarer and more valuable than brown sugar? Select two options. "Egypt became the world's great sugar laboratory" "The kind of sugar easiest to produce from cane is dark" "drain out the dark molasses to use by itself" "wanted it to be as pure, sweet, and white as possible" "Egyptians figured out how to meet that need"

Answer 1

Answer:

B. "The kind of sugar easiest to produce from cane is dark"

D. "wanted it to be as pure, sweet, and white as possible"

Explanation:

This best supports the inference that white sugar was rarer and more valuable than brown sugar. If dark/brown sugar was easier to produce, then it would obviously not be as worth as much. How white was called pure and sweet put it at a higher value than brown sugar.
