Which line from the passage best provides evidence to support the claim that sugar was more of "a killer” in Louisiana than in t

he Caribbean?
A "In every single American slave state, the population of enslaved people kept rising. . . ."
B ". . . enough enslaved children were born, lived, and grew to become adults."
C “Not only did the slave states need to harvest the cane in perfect rhythm with the grinding mills. . . .”
D "People needed to work faster than the weather. . . ."


Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

In every single American slave state, the population of enslaved people kept rising even after the slave trade was abolished. That was because enough enslaved children were born, lived, and grew to become adults. There was just one exception to this rule: Louisiana, where the native-born enslaved population kept dropping. Sugar was a killer.

Unlike the Caribbean, Louisiana has cold snaps. That put an additional pressure on the sugar harvest. Not only did the slaves need to harvest the cane in perfect rhythm with the grinding mills, but the entire crop had to be cut down between mid-October and December. This pace only increased when growers installed improved, steam-powered mills. People needed to work faster than the weather and to keep pace with machines.

Answer:

The correct answer is option D "People needed to work faster than the weather. . . ."

Explanation:

The text refers to sugar as "a killer" in Louisiana as they did not have the hot weather as in the Caribbean to harvest.

Then, slaves had to increase their production and beat the weather because otherwise <u>the crop would be completely ruined. </u>

For this reason, the work of slaves in Louisiana was much more exhaustive than in the Caribbean.

Answer:

D. He doesn't always agree with the choices of who is honored by the public.

Explanation:

This excerpt is from Jonathan Swift's (1667 – 1745) satirical article "A Modest Proposal" - <em>for preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick.</em>

Option C states almost the same thing as in option D. But option D better explains the situation.

There is also a sharp sense of satire in author's usage of words "fair, cheap and easy". Jonathan Swift's satire is aimed toward government whose policies even in matters of such great importance are economy centered.

Which sentence is written correctly? The, local market, has the freshest produce and meats in town. Takeko, a painting student o
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Sarah, Matt's wife, works as a business software developer.

Explanation:

The noun Sarah preceding the appositive Matt's wife provides sufficient identification on its own, so we have to use commas around the appositive.

These sentences are written incorrectly:

The, local market, has the freshest produce and meats in town. We don't need to use commas around the subject <em>local market</em>.

Takeko, a painting student offered to help with a sculpting demonstration.

We need to use commas around the appositive <em>a painting student</em>.

The store offers, many products, which can be personalized with your initials. No commas are needed.

Re-read the following line from section 3 :“Social Needs”: “An anorexic, for example, may ignore the need to eat and the securit
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

C. Providing an example of a disease that commonly manifests during Level 3

Explanation:

An anorexic person is one who has a eating disorder that causes him/her to be obsessive with what they eat as well as their weight. It is characterised by an inordinate fear of being overweight

The author was discussing around man's needs & how that man cannot escape those basic needs. Maslows introduced the concept of hierarchy of needs & classified them into 5 strata namely: psychological, security/safety, social, esteem & self-actualization (the Maslows pyramid is attached). Maslows proposed that people would fulfil the fundamental needs before moving on to other needs. As such, an anorexic is only trying to shy away from his/her fundamental & basic need (in this case, food). But much more in this case, the anorexic person is staying off food to fulfil his/her <u>social need</u> (to 'belong' & be accepted). <u>We see that anorexia can be an offshoot of social need</u>

<u>Hence, the author is pointing out a disease that could arise on the third level of the hierarchical needs. This means option C is the correct answer</u>
