Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
How do the details in this passage support the authors'
purpose?
Sugar is different from honey. It offers a stronger sweet
flavor, and like steel or plastic, it had to be invented. In the
Age of Sugar, Europeans bought a product made thousands
of miles away that was less expensive than the honey from
down the road. That was possible only because sugar set
people in motion all across the world-millions of them as
slaves, in chains; a few in search of their fortunes. A perfect
taste made possible by the most brutal labor: That is the
dark story of sugar.
The comparison of honey to sugar production helps
persuade readers that honey is better than sugar.
The details about sugar's dependency on slavery help
inform readers about why sugar was inexpensive.
The details about the sugar's strong flavor entertain the
reader with stories of how people invented sugar.
The comparison of the invention of sugar to steel helps
persuade readers that sugar is easier to make than steel.

Answer:

The details about sugar's dependency on slavery help inform readers about why sugar was inexpensive.

Explanation:

In this text, the author explains that sugar was a cheap commodity during this time period. This was the case despite the fact that sugar was produced thousands of miles away. The main idea of this excerpt is that sugar was such an inexpensive good because it relied on slavery. By using free labor, production costs were kept extremely low, allowing for sugar to be inexpensive, and therefore, popular all over the world.

Answer:

B. The details about sugar’s dependency on slavery help inform readers about why sugar was inexpensive.

Explanation:

".. bought a product made thousands of miles away that was less expensive than the honey from down the road. That was possible only because sugar set people in motion all across the world—millions of them as slaves, in chains; a few in search of their fortunes."

Slave labor was inexpensive.

Study: ‘High Incomes Don’t Bring You Happiness’
By Caitlin Kenney 2010
People often have conflicting ideas about whether or not money can buy happiness. Some believe that the lifestyle that money can offer is equivalent to happiness, while others fear that money can lead to greediness that can never be satisfied. In this study, psychologist Daniel Kahneman and economist Angus Deaton seek the answer to this question. As you read, take notes on the different definitions of happiness that exist and how they are affected by money.
How much money do you think it would take to make you happy? Would an extra $10,000 a year do it or would it take a $100,000 salary bump to improve your mood?
A new study from Princeton economist Angus Deaton and psychologist Daniel Kahneman suggests that number depends on how you define happiness. The authors draw a distinction1 between emotional well-being, “the quality of a person’s everyday experience such as joy, fascination, anxiety, sadness, anger, and affection” and life evaluation “a person’s thoughts about his or her life (on a longer time scale).”
Their study of data from the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index found that while “life evaluations rise steadily with income,” emotional well being drops off at about $75,000 a year.
Beyond $75,000, money is important for life evaluation, but does nothing for happiness, enjoyment, sadness, or stress. Both factors are important; it is good to have high emotional wellbeing, but it is also good to think your life is going well.
According to the most recent census2 data, the median US household income was $52,000 in 2008, with about a third of households making above $75,000.
Text-Dependent Questions Directions: For the following questions, choose the best answer or respond in complete sentences.
1. PART A: What statement best identifies the central idea of the text?
A. Money makes people happy above anything else.
B. “Emotional wellbeing” is solely dependent on wealth.
C. Money plays only a very minor role in people's overall happiness.
D. Money is able to influence people’s happiness to an extent.

C. “it is good to have high emotional wellbeing, but it is also good to think your life is going well.” (Paragraph 4)
D. “the median US household income was $52,000 in 2008, with about a third of households making above $75,000.” (Paragraph 5)
3. PART A: What does paragraph 5 suggest about the "emotional wellbeing"? of an individual with the median household income in 2008?

B. Only “life evaluation” would increase with a higher income.
C. Some people in the United States make too much money and it’s harmful to average Americans.

Chief Joseph's Surrender Speech, October 5, 1877
by Chief Joseph

Tell General Howard I know his heart. What he told me before, I have it in my heart. I am tired of fighting. Our Chiefs are killed; Looking Glass is dead, Ta Hool Hool Shute is dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say yes or no. He who led on the young men is dead. It is cold, and we have no blankets; the little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are—perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my Chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.
