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.
Answer:
During sixteen long months <u>this assault</u> has blotted out the whole pattern of democratic life in an appalling number of independent nations, great and small. <u>The assailants</u> are still on the march, threatening other nations, great and small. Therefore, as your President, performing my constitutional duty to "give to the Congress information of the state of the Union," I find it, unhappily, necessary to report that <u>the future and the safety of our country and of our democracy are overwhelmingly involved in events far beyond our borders.</u> Armed defense of democratic existence is now being gallantly waged in four continents. If that defense fails, all the population and all the resources of Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia will be dominated by the conquerors. Let us remember that the total of those populations and their resources in those four continents greatly exceeds the sum total of the population and the resources of the whole of the Western Hemisphere-many times over.

Because Beowulf is the oldest record of the archaic English language, in addition to showing concepts of the Christian religion, one of the most influential in the world today.
Explanation:
Beowulf is an Anglo-Saxon epic poem and is one of the most important narratives not only in English literature, but in world literature.
Beowulf is an ancient poem, written millions of years ago, being the first record of Old English spoken by Anglo-Saxons.
In addition, Beowulf brings diverse cultural elements and can be observed in different cultures today showing the influence that the mixture of peoples had in the world.
Beowulf brings many elements of paganism, but it is likely that some of these elements have been modified over time to present cirstan elements. This reinforces the importance of this poem worldwide, since Cyrstianism is one of the most popular religions in the world and the poem shows suppression of English culture to pagan and alternative practices.
