Sugar Changed the World, Part 4: Building Claims — Unit test
Question 15 • FL-1001340-English 2 Sem 1 - Flex
Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.The diamond and the house: two family treasures, two parts of the story of sugar. We realized that our two family stories—Marina's great-grandparents, brought to Guyana to replace slaves, and Marc's aunt's grandfather, helping to refine an alternative to that same sugar—were just the beginning of a much larger story about a remarkable substance. It is a story of the movement of millions of people, of fortunes made and lost, of brutality and delight—all because of tiny crystals stirred into our coffee, twirled on top of a cake. Sugar, we began to see, changed the world.
Answer
A
to explain who Marina and Marc are
B
to link the authors’ families to sugar
C
to explore the history of Guyana
D
to show what sugar is used for
Explanation
The passage connects two family stories to the broader history of sugar: Marina’s great-grandparents were brought to Guyana to work, and Marc’s relative helped refine an alternative to sugar. These examples introduce how sugar shaped people’s lives and the world. Therefore, the purpose is to link the authors’ families to sugar, not simply to explain who they are or list sugar’s uses.
