Answer: C. <u><em>An engineer create an artificial intelligence that then tries to take over the world</em></u>
Explanation: The stories, 'the myth of Prometheus and Pandora' and the 'Frankenstein', emphasizes the same theme on the creation of something which might turn beneficial or detrimental.

The correct answer is the first option “For an African, whether you were sent to the Caribbean or South America, you were now part of the sugar machine.”. Taken from the book “<em>Sugar Changed the World: A Story of Magic, Spice, Slavery, Freedom, and Science</em>” by Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos (2010), this excerpt best states the main point or claim of the text that the author narrates: the operation of the sugar machine. In other words, this could be the <u>thesis statement</u>. The rest of the options are <u>supporting sentences</u> that develop the actual operation of the sugar machine: how someone may be part of another group, how someone may work according to the ground, and how overseers supervise someone’s work.
I believe the correct answer is: He adopts the life of a pirate, becoming rich by stealing from others.
In this excerpt from “The Story of Frithiof the Bold” written by William Morris, the life in exile make Frithiof, a great hero, adopt to the life of a pirate, becoming rich by stealing from others, after the incident in the temple of Balder:
“So Frithiof became an exile, and the wanderer on the face of earth. For many years he lived the life of a pirate or Viking, exacting tribute from other ships or sacking them if they would not pay the tribute.”
I believe the answer is A, I had this same question on a test last year, and I'm pretty sure that's the answer.
