Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. In the Age of Sugar, Europeans bought a product made thousands of miles away that

was less expensive than the honey from down the road. That was possible only because sugar set people in motion all across the world—millions of them as slaves, in chains; a few in search of their fortunes. A perfect taste made possible by the most brutal labor: That is the dark story of sugar. What is the purpose of the cause-and-effect structure of this passage? Select two options. to mark important events in the history of sugar to show how the desire for sugar led to slavery to compare the labor used for sugar with that used in other industries to reveal that the reason for sugar’s low price was slavery to explain how honey led to the discovery of sugar

Read the poem "Monet’s ‘Waterlilies’” by Robert Hayden.
frutty [35]

Robert Hayden was born on August 4, 1913 and died on February 25, 1980. He was an American poet, essayist, and educator. He served as Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress from 1976 to 1978, a role today known as US Poet Laureate. He was the first African-American writer to hold the office.

Robert Hayden was born in Detroit, Michigan, son of Ruth and Asa Sheffey. The couple separated before his birth. He was taken in by a foster family next door, Sue Ellen Westerfield and William Hayden, and grew up in a Detroit ghetto nicknamed "Paradise Valley". The Haydens' eternally belligerent marriage, coupled with Ruth Sheffey’s competition for her son's affections, made for a traumatic childhood. Witnessing fights and suffering beatings, Hayden lived in a house troubled with chronic anger. His childhood traumas resulted in debilitating bouts of depression that he later called "my dark nights of the soul".

Before answering the question, I would like to mention what we call free verse poetry. It is poetry that is free from limitations of regular meter or rhythm, and does not rhyme with fixed forms. Such poems are without rhythm and rhyme schemes, do not follow regular rhyme scheme rules, yet still provide artistic expression.

We can conclude that the present poem is written in free verse because:

There is no rhyme scheme.

The lines are unequal in length.

<em>The other options present limitations or patterns which are the opposite characteristics of free verse.</em>

The orchard walls are high and hard to climb, And the place death, considering who thou art, If any of my kinsmen find thee here
Verizon [17]

<em>The orchard walls are high and hard to climb, And the place death, considering who thou art, If </em><em>any</em><em> of my kinsmen find thee here.</em>

<em>Any</em> is the indefinite pronoun because it means something like "it does not matter who of my kinsmen as long as the person is one of my kinsmen" although Present Day English demands agreement as third person singular (<em>if any of you agree</em><em>s</em>) in the passage the agreement is third person plural because from the point of view of meaning [<em>any of my kinsmen</em>] can be replaced as <em>they</em>  and the verb <em>find</em> agrees with this plural idea.

Present Day British English has this kind of agreement called collective noun which grammatically can function like the pronoun <em>they</em>, for example as in <em>the committee </em><em>have</em><em> started the meeting</em>). The word <em>police</em> is another example of collective noun by taking third person plural agreement as in the sentence <em>The police </em><em>have </em><em>arrived</em>.

MAXImum [283]

Answers with Explanation:

1. Compare the perspectives of the narrator and her first employers regarding wages.

The narrator in the story views wage as <u><em>an important aspect when applying for a job</em></u>, especially when it comes to immigrant labor. The first employers, on the other hand, views asking a question about wages a sign of disrespect. They told Anzia that instead of thinking about wages, <u>she should be thankful to be associated with the Americans. </u>

2. What does this comparison reveal about how they view immigrant labor?

The narrator views immigrant labor as something that will free her from poverty and oppression. She thought that moving to another country, like America, would allow her the freedom to express herself and earn just amount of wage. However, for the employers, immigrant labor is something they take advantage of. They thought that they're superior than the immigrants, that's why they treat them with <u>harsh labor</u> and <u>long hours of work</u>.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the essay entitled "America and I," written by <em>Anzia Yazierska. </em>It focuses on Anzia's struggles in adopting the lifestyle of American people.

FromTheMoon [43]

The lines that describe this puzzling ability in the speaker's beloved to control his reasoning faculties are “Whence hast thou this becoming of things ill,/That in the very refuse of thy deeds/There is such strength and warrantise of skill,/That, in my mind, thy worst all best exceeds?”

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

A. The woman who cleans the house.

Explanation:

In Metamorphosis, a short story written by Franz Kafka, the main character, Gregor, finds himself at the beginning of the story turned into a sort of bug, which alienates him from his family and from his daily routine, not to mention his own consciousness. Towards the end of the story, Gregor, completely separated from his family, dies after an unfortunate and sad event and, we are told, the woman who cleans the house, without ceremony, gets rid of the corpse.
