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.

Select all that apply. Chanticleer's weaknesses are _____. pride humility self-hatred self-love insecurity
Naddika [7460]

The accurate response is "humility" and "pride".

A Chanticleer represents a human character in animal form. This technique of personification originated in the 13th century. In the narrative "Reynard the Fox", Reynard is portrayed as lacking moral integrity, displaying a cowardly demeanor, and consistently seeking his own interests. He embodies the advantage of cunning over brute strength.
