To think that there I was, opening the door, little by little, and he not even to dream of my secret deeds or thoughts. I fairly chuckled at the idea; and perhaps he heard me; for he moved on the bed suddenly, as if startled. Now you may think that I drew back傭ut no. His room was as black as pitch with the thick darkness, (for the shutters were close fastened, through fear of robbers,) and so I knew that he could not see the opening of the door, and I kept pushing it on steadily, steadily. (and i need evidence to support my answer )

ANEK [815]

Read the excerpt from a short story.

The Sonoran Desert route was his favorite. His friends were surprised he could endure the solitude of it, but he cherished the barren miles. Today he'd passed a mile of verbena in full bloom, followed by ten miles with nothing but sagebrush. The next leg promised cliffs, and he loved to imagine scaling them as he traversed the desolate highway. In fact, one was rising in the distance, and the highway would bear right around it. He looked down to cool the temperature, looked up again, and stared. The grill of a tractor trailer, in his lane, was bearing down upon him.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. Since sugar had to pass through many hands before it reached the fairs, it was ex
garri49 [273]

Answer:

As sugar became increasingly available to the English, they wanted to acquire even more of it.

Explanation:

This is the only option that can be inferred from the things stated in the excerpt. We can see that King Henry III negotiation skills had nothing to do with the amount of sugar he could get, as it was difficult for everyone to buy it. Sugar was very scarce and therefore very expensive. The passage doesn't describe England as the one that dominated trade with the Muslim World before Venbice did, so we can't infer it. It could be true or not, the text doesn't have the information to know it, we only are informed that when Venice took control, the sugar trade was expanded making the fairs unecessary.

<u>The thing that we know is that the English always bought more and more sugar as it was more available, King Henry III first bought three pounds, then four, later three hundred, one hundred years later the English bought thousands of pounds.</u> Therefore the demand increased.
