Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. But it is in India, where it was used as an offering in religious and magical cer

emonies, that we have the first written record of sugar. Long before the first pyramids were built in Egypt, the ancient Sumerians traded with the people of Harappa and Mohenjo Daro, who lived along the Indus River. Unfortunately, we are still not able to read the writings left behind from those ancient cities. So the first documents telling us about life in that region come from a much later period. These Hindu sacred teachings were probably first gathered together sometime between 1500 and 900 B.C., and were carefully memorized. Only hundreds of years later were they finally written down. The Hindu writings tell us of a religion in which fire was extremely important. People believed that the gods gave fire to human beings. Yet fire was also a way for humans to reach the gods. By placing offerings in a special fire, a priest could turn them into smoke and send them on to the gods. Five ingredients were selected for this special burning: milk, cheese, butter, honey, and sugar cane. Which details would best fit in a summary of this passage? Select two options. "in India . . . it was used as an offering in religious and magical ceremonies" "the first written record of sugar" "Long before the first pyramids were built in Egypt" "gods gave fire to human beings" "a priest could turn them into smoke and send them on to the gods"

The writings of James Baldwin and Zora Neale Hurston express different perspectives on black culture in America because _____.
bogdanovich [222]
We can use process of elimination to work out what the best answer is to this question. To fully answer it, however, it is helpful to make sure you know who each author is and what they are famous for. Both are African American writers that wrote about race and inequality.

For choice A, while they were born in different parts of the United States, that does not mean they were born in different cultures, so this is not the best choice.

For choice B, this is very true. Hurston focused mainly on the woman's role while Baldwin focused on the man's. This is a good choice for this question.

For choice C, we would need to see a more in depth excerpt or do research to fully determine if this is the best answer, but from what I know about the authors and looking over their biographies, it's safe to say that they had very similar ideas about racism in America.

For choice D, they both explore painful topics because they are exploring what racism and inequality is in general in America. Because of this, this choice is not the best answer.

Based on our elimination, choice B is the best option here.

Firlakuza [10]
Her conflict with Hamlet raises gender role issues - because Hamlet is one amongst the numerous those that outline Ophelia by her sexuality. She has no management over her body, her relationships, or her selections throughout the story.
Her beauty and charm could be a model of feminine stereotype - fully tractable and passive; she refuses to fight back once she extremely has to.

“Boston Navy Yard and the ‘Great War,’ 1914-1918”\”
valentinak56 [21]

Roosevelt had big plans in relation to the military power that the USA would have because of that, he decided to empower the American navy, providing resources and technologies, to expand and modernize it, as the text says. However, he stated that the reason for investing in the navy was protection in the country, not involvement in the conflict between European countries as we can see from the excerpt "Just after the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, President Woodrow Wilson declared that the United States would remain neutral. It would become the job of the Navy to protect the nation's neutrality at sea and at home by stationing destroyers in the Boston Navy Yard. "

However, the conflict was too great to keep the country neutral. At one point, in the name of freedom and in order to suppress Germany's injustices and barbarities, the United States decided to declare war on Germany. At that time, a large number of workers (including women, according to the text) were needed to reinforce the available resources for the war, in addition, this moment established the time to put the American navy in direct conflict and use all its modernity and structure against enemies.

Even without remaining neutral, Roosevelt concluded his desire to use the Boston Navy Yard to protect the country, as it was paramount in defense at the military level. In addition, it promoted international well-being. According to the text "the Navy department selected the Boston Navy Yard for the construction of the first ship specifically built to transport supplies and provisions for refueling the fleet abroad."

This established the United States as a major world power, as well as showing the entire world how to avoid US enmity>
