Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. And yet, for all the hardships and prejudice, most Indians decided to stay in the

colonies even after their contracts ended. By the end of the 1800s, only a quarter of the indentures sailed back to India after their five years were over. Sometimes this was because they were still too poor. Others told tales of returning only to be spurned by their villages for having broken caste or to be preyed upon by relatives who stole their money. Most of those who stayed in the New World, though, chose to do so because it offered a new life. And in the late 1800s, the authorities began to make a new offer to Indian workers. If they remained in the Caribbean, they could get a small plot of land of their own. After putting in their time in sugar, they could begin to farm for themselves.
Which goal does this passage address?

the goal of explaining why the majority of Indians stayed in the colonies the goal of showing why Indians were rejected by their home villages the goal of showing the prejudice Indians faced in the Caribbean the goal of explaining the terms of the Indians’ indenture contracts

Answer:

Society and Class is one of the themes of Don Quixote.

Explanation:

There are many themes in the "Don Quixote" by "Miguel de Cervantes" like Social and class, madness, loyalty, race, madness, morality.

Cervantes's novel shows the difference between the class of a person and his worth. In Don Quixote, Cervantes argues the traditional thinking that if a person is an aristocrat, he is respectable and noble. But Duke and Duches are frivolous and unkind though they are aristocrats in the story. On the other hand, though Sancho has low social status and is a farmer, he is wise and thoughtful.  

In Don Quixote, two people who love each other are asked to live apart  apart because of their social class and Cervantes also suggests that quality of a person is more important than his social class.

Questions 13–18: Identify each of the italicized clauses in the sentences below as either restrictive or nonrestrictive. Rewrite
Kryger [21]

Answer:

Even though the question doesn't bring options, it is possible to understand and explain the concepts.

Explanation:

A nonrestrictive phrase is the one that requires information that is not strictly essential for the complete sentence, meaning that the main sentence would be complete even if this part were not written. They are indicated with commas (one or two, according to the position in the sentence.) An example would be "His brother, <em>who plays football</em>, is a great student."

A restrictive clause is an essential part of the sentence. If it is not there, the sentence seem to be incomplete or vague, so they must be in the sentence and commas are not required. An example would be "My mom brought the chicken <em>that she cooked</em> to the party."
