insens350 [35]

Answer: The theme of Fate and free will

Explanation: In the story, Mrs. Mallard's sister is afraid to tell her the news that she is now a widow, she is afraid that she might suffer a heart attack. Nevertheless, when Mrs. Mallard isolates herself in her room, she starts feeling a sensation of freeness. She realizes that she will finally be liberated from her oppressing marriage. This reaction is ironic since the reader is expecting her to be devastated. The theme of fate and free will is suggested because regardless of how liberated she starts to feel, she is destined to perish from joy at the end of the story.

Read the passage from the All Men Are Created Equal section of Sugar Changed the World. To say that "all men are equal" in 1716,
AURORKA [14]

Answer: Economic demand for sugar was the most important factor in ending servitude and serfdom worldwide.

Both passages highlight the importance of the economic demand for sugar in ending servitude and serfdom worldwide.

The first passage states that "the global hunger for slave-grown sugar led directly to the end of slavery." In this quote, the author makes a link between sugar and slavery to the Age of Revolutions.

In the second passage, the author argues that Russia at the "Age of Sugar" was still an old-fashioned country, where most people were serfs. However, with the adoption of sugar beets and new tools, society modernized and serfdom ended. He argues that  "beet sugar set an example of modern farming that helped convince Russian nobles that it was time to free their millions of serfs."

Therefore, both passages support the idea that economic demand for sugar was the most important factor in ending servitude worldwide.
