Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. The year is 326 B.C. Alexander the Great stands at the Indus River in what is now

Pakistan. For a decade he and his Greek soldiers have been battling their way across the known world, defeating even the mighty Persians, rulers of Asia. Alexander’s string of victories only feeds his hunger to conquer all, to know all. But his men balk. Tired of fighting, homesick, they refuse to go on. Alexander realizes he cannot continue to conquer Asia, but he is too curious to stop exploring. He has already built a fleet of eight hundred ships, appointed his close friend Nearchus captain, and sent them to investigate the coast of lndia by sea. And it is Nearchus who stumbles upon the "sweet reed.” The Greeks knew something of India (actually the Indian subcontinent, the area that today includes the nations of India and Pakistan) from the books of Herodotus, a writer who lived about a century earlier. He reported that when the Persian emperor Darius I invaded India around 510 B.C., his men found a sweet reed that produced honey. Which text features would be most helpful to support the central idea of the passage? Select two options. a timeline showing how people have used sugar in the past and up until the present a diagram of one of the eight hundred ships that Alexander the Great had built a map of Alexander the Great's route and the site of the sugar cane discovery a diagram of sugar cane, showing details of its outside and inside a timeline showing when Darius I and Alexander the Great learned of sugar cane

First choice: A map illustrating Alexander the Great’s journey and where sugar cane was discovered.

This is because the passage’s main point is to inform readers about the historical context and events leading to Alexander the Great discovering the sweet reed, so a map of his route enhances understanding of the described outcome.

Second choice: A timeline showing when Darius I and Alexander the Great each became aware of sugar cane.

The passage indicates that the Greeks' knowledge of India and the sweet reed originated from Herodotus’ writings about Darius I’s invasion around 510 B.C., so a timeline helps visualize the chronological relationship between these eras concerning sugar cane.

How does the pacing of this passage affect the reader's interpretation of the text? Select three options. O The flashback to ear
Bond [2870]

Response:

  • The deceleration in pace highlights the reasons for the windmill's demise.
  • This reduction in pace builds tension for the audience regarding future events.
  • The slowing pace provides insights into the storm and its consequences.

Clarification:

Pacing is a common literary device that authors use, and this was evident in chapter 6 of Animal Farm. It's the first year since Napoleon expelled Snowball from the farm and took control, starting the construction of the Windmill.

However, the windmill collapses one night, and the slower storytelling pace created has added suspense as well as allowed the reader to understand the factors leading to the windmill's destruction, along with details of the storm and its aftermath.
