Sugar Changed the World, Part 3: Word Choice and Multimedia

Question 1 • FL-1001340-English 2 Sem 1 - Flex

What is the most important claim that the authors make in "Part Four: Back to Our Stories: New Workers, New Sugar” in Sugar Changed the World?

Answer
A
Mahatma Gandhi was an inspiring leader in the cause for human rights.
B
Sugar production and trade had a global impact on slavery and rebellion.
C
Technology removed the need for large numbers of laborers to process sugar.
D
Beet sugar and artificial sweeteners led to the downfall of the sugar industry.

Explanation

The section connects sugar’s production and trade to slavery, the search for new workers after emancipation, and resistance to harsh labor systems. Its central point is broader than Gandhi’s individual leadership: sugar shaped events and struggles across the world. Technology and beet sugar changed the industry, but they did not eliminate the need for workers or bring sugar production to an end.
