Sugar Changed the World, Part 1: Author’s Purpose

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

What is one purpose of the prologue in Sugar Changed the World?

Answer

to illustrate that living in the Caribbean was not profitable, but affected the history of sugar

to persuade readers that, before the 20th century, most people’s fortunes depended on sugar

to emphasize how sugar plantations depended on involuntary servitude, and how they shaped the world economy

to inform readers of the authors’ family histories and how their connection to sugar spurred their interest and research

Explanation

The prologue introduces the authors’ personal connections to sugar and explains how those family histories led them to investigate its broader history. This makes D, informing readers about the authors’ backgrounds and what sparked their research, the best answer. The other choices describe themes explored in the book rather than the prologue’s main purpose.
