Answer: "By contrast, the plantation had only one purpose: to create a single product that could be grown, ground, boiled, dried, and sold to distant markets."
Explanation:
<em>Sugar Changed the World </em>is a book written by Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos. In the book, they explore the history of sugar, particularly in slave trade.
In this excerpt, the author's claim is that plantation was considered as a revolutionary way of making sugar: the whole process from planting the seeds to drying and selling it was happening in one place. It was the first time in human history that the farms were organized in such a way. The correct answer is, therefore, the second option.
<span>Regarding integrity, “discerning what is right and what is wrong . . . captures the idea that integrity requires a degree of moral reflectiveness” (Carter).
The parentheses in this sentence is being used to cite the source of the quotation. It is important to put the parentheses around the author's last name and inside of the period it is associated with. By putting the parentheses inside the period, the sentence includes the citation and clearly shows that the citation belongs to Carter. If (Carter) was outside of the period, it would not be clear whether the citation belongs to the sentence before or after. The other options are wrong when Carter is used as the subject of the sentence.
