Question

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

Answer 1

Answer:

Muslims or Persian people?

Explanation:

The use of Muslims is incorrect, I think, because the sugar cane was discovered by Persian and Greek people (the famous ¨reeds that produce honey without bees¨) in India between the 6th and 4th centuries BC, and not by Muslims. Persia became synonymous with Islam after the Arab conquest in the 7th century AD.

The question is not complete since it does not provide the options to answer it, here are the options:

How do the details in the passage support the central idea?

* The details describe the important role Muslims played in spreading knowledge throughout the world.

*The details clarify the role Jundi Shapur played in spreading the secrets of sugar to the rest of the world.

*The details describe how Muslims used knowledge from only the Greeks to make innovations.

*The details reveal how important the Koran was in helping Muslims conquer other lands.

The excerpt of "Sugar Changed the World." shows the participation of the Muslims in the spread of information since they were the ones who translate more advance information coming from the Greeks to make it accessible to others, as they were sharing all the knowledge they collected though different travels and experiences.
