B. "The kind of sugar easiest to produce from cane is dark"
D. "wanted it to be as pure, sweet, and white as possible"

The phrase "in contrast" signals that what follows opposes what has been mentioned before. Since the first paragraph emphasizes scientific evidence, the second should appeal to the opposite—feelings and beliefs. Among the adjectives provided, "passionate" is the only one positively matching "emotions."
