Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. The year is 326 B.C. Alexander the Great stands at the Indus River in what is now

Pakistan. For a decade he and his Greek soldiers have been battling their way across the known world, defeating even the mighty Persians, rulers of Asia. Alexander’s string of victories only feeds his hunger to conquer all, to know all. But his men balk. Tired of fighting, homesick, they refuse to go on. Alexander realizes he cannot continue to conquer Asia, but he is too curious to stop exploring. He has already built a fleet of eight hundred ships, appointed his close friend Nearchus captain, and sent them to investigate the coast of lndia by sea. And it is Nearchus who stumbles upon the "sweet reed.” The Greeks knew something of India (actually the Indian subcontinent, the area that today includes the nations of India and Pakistan) from the books of Herodotus, a writer who lived about a century earlier. He reported that when the Persian emperor Darius I invaded India around 510 B.C., his men found a sweet reed that produced honey. Which text features would be most helpful to support the central idea of the passage? Select two options. a timeline showing how people have used sugar in the past and up until the present a diagram of one of the eight hundred ships that Alexander the Great had built a map of Alexander the Great's route and the site of the sugar cane discovery a diagram of sugar cane, showing details of its outside and inside a timeline showing when Darius I and Alexander the Great learned of sugar cane

The first option is:  a map of Alexander the Great's route and the site of the sugar cane discovery.

This is because the central idea of the passage is to let the reader know about the context and events that led to Alexander the great  know about the sweet reed. And for that reason a map of Alexander the Great's route would help understand the final result mentioned in the passage.

The second option is: a timeline showing when Darius l and Alexander the Great learned of sugar cane.

The passage shows that bacause of the books of Herodotus concerning emperor Darius I, greeks had a piece of knowledge of the sweet reed. And so, a timeline would help the reader visualize the relation between these two periods related to the discovery of sugar cane.

Read the scenario.
bekas [8.4K]

A code of Ethics is the framework of rules and regulations, almost the guideline, that an institution, or organization, may have, to help its members or workers choose the correct actions to take when facing a dilemma or a problem, in accordance with the principles and the mission and vision of the institution or organization. Although mostly seen in organization, there are also codes of ethics that are personal and these help an individual decide the right way to act in difficult situations. In the case of this scenario, there is a huge problem; the reporter is faced with her relationship to the person being investigated and about who she must report. Because of this familial relationship between reporter and investigated, the reporter should, C, tell the editor-in-chief about her relationship to the pilot, and ask that the story be assigned to another. This is the ethical thing to do because it allows the superior to know that there will be a conflict of interests and a possible bias, whether the reporter wants to or not. It also allows the chief to decide whether the connection between the two will affect the reporter´s abilities or not.
