The correct answer is: “information on weather conditions in Louisiana and the Caribbean”. 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), the details included about the weather conditions in Louisiana and the Caribbean are used to support the claim that “<u>sugar was a killer</u>”. As the text tells, <em>sugar was a killer</em> because of the cold snaps in Louisiana. The authors narrate the details that explain the claim (sugar was a killer). For instance, they narrate that the slaves needed to harvest the cane in perfect rhythm with the grinding mills, and that the entire crop had to be cut down between mid-October and December, and that people needed to work faster than the weather and to keep pace with machines.
Answer:

Explanation:
<u>According to the excerpt, dictionaries were quite limited. To write one that was as complete as possible, Johnson had a lot of work. First, he began by reading books. By searching literature, he was able to add more words to the ones dictionaries had already provided him with. Then, he moved on to the difficult but certainly rewarding task of gleaning words from "living speech," which can be quite a chaotic job.</u> He did not change the format of dictionaries, he did not apply rules to make language less chaotic, nor did he select only the most difficult words to define. Therefore, the correct option is letter B.

Explanation:
In this excerpt of his speech, Wiesel encourages the world to 'take sides' and work to end suffering (A).
He does not want people to be passive and simply stay neutral (C) or on the sidelines (B). He wants people to take position: "I swore never to be silent," "We must always take sides." Through parallelism, he also blames inaction for feeding into the problem: "Neutrality helps the oppressor" // "Silence encourages the tormentor."
Neither does he believe that thinking about race, religion or political views (D) is enough. He is urging people to take action to defend citizens from discrimination. This is shown by the use of the action verb "interfere."
