Answer:

It provides background on how a family from Russia got into the sugar business.

Explanation:

The book <em>Sugar Changed the World: A Story of Magic, Spice, Slavery, Freedom, and Science </em>tells about the development of the sugar business, starting from its origins in New Guinea in 7000 B.C. to the 21st century and production of ethanol. An important topic in the book is a blood trail this industry left - the deaths of countless African slaves forced into sugar production.

This particular excerpt tells a story about how an ancestor of one Russian family entered the sugar business as a serf, a farmer bound to his lord's land, which he works on.

Read the following excerpt from "Notes of a Native Son" by James Baldwin:
Reil [10]

Answer:

C. The author refers to the evil of Sodom and Gomorrah to suggest a  comparison to the contemporary city of New Orleans.

Explanation:

An allusion is a figure that is used to describe something without directly referring to it and explicitly saying what it is, but by using some different ideas, usually knowledgable to a wider audience.

That is why the author here refers to what he imagines in New Orleans as Sodom and Gomorrah. <u>He refers to the well known Biblical story about the cities where many vile people lived who did harm and sins, so God destroyed them at the end as a punishment for their outrageous behavior.</u>

<u>By alluding to these Biblical places and stories, the author is trying to say us all the worst possible happenings were present to see in New Orleans, and still are, as he is still "to this day" making that mental connection. </u>

Read the following historical fact to make a text to world connection.

The detail from Michio Kaku's book that provides the most cultural context about the Cold War is:

2. The Pentagon was worried that the shattered remains of the Soviet Union might be rebuilt before the United States.

Michio Kaku is a theoretical physicist born in 1947 in California. In his book "Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century," he discusses the scientific advances that revolutionized the 20th century and that will certainly define life now and in the future.

In the particular excerpt we are analyzing here, Kaku gives us a brief cultural context when he mentions, "The Pentagon was worried that the shattered remains of the Soviet Union might be rebuilt before the United States." This line explains that many of the scientific revolutions that occurred last century only came to fruition because the need to defeat Russia was culturally infused into Americans. The two countries were now racing to show the world which one was the most powerful, which one was the most technologically advanced.

<u>In conclusion, Kaku offers the cultural context of the Cold War as the groundwork where scientific revolutions could take place.</u>

In Christopher Marlowe's "The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus", Faustus begin to believe that human salvation became impossible is because of the fact that he believed in Predestination. It's a theory wherein humans are already fated ever since they are born, and due to the evil in the world, he deemed that it's actually impossible to save humankind.
