What evidence from the passage best supports the inference that white sugar was rarer and more valuable than brown sugar? Select
two options. "Egypt became the world's great sugar laboratory" "The kind of sugar easiest to produce from cane is dark" "drain out the dark molasses to use by itself" "wanted it to be as pure, sweet, and white as possible" "Egyptians figured out how to meet that need"
2 answers:
Answer:
B. "The kind of sugar easiest to produce from cane is dark"
D. "wanted it to be as pure, sweet, and white as possible"
Explanation:
This information most convincingly suggests that white sugar was not only less common but also more valuable than brown sugar. If producing dark or brown sugar is simpler, it logically follows that its value would be lower. The description of white sugar as pure and sweet elevates its worth above that of brown sugar.
