Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. Slave labor was valuable because it produced cheap sugar that everyone wanted to

buy. But if people stopped buying that sugar, the whole slave system would collapse. In the years leading up to the American Revolution, the women of New England refused to buy English products and English tea. The loss of income made London rescind some of the taxes it had imposed on America. Now this same tactic—boycotting—was used to fight slavery. Some 400,000 English people stopped buying the sugar that slaves grew and harvested. Instead, they bought loaves of sugar that carried a label that said, "Produced by the labor of FREEMEN"—the sugar came from India. When the English looked at the sugar they used every day, Clarkson and the other abolitionists made them see the blood of the slaves who had created it. The very fact that slave-made sugar was so popular made it harder for the English to ignore the reality of slavery. Sugar was a bridge—like the sneakers and T-shirts and rugs that, today, we know are made by sweatshop labor. If you wanted the product, abolitionists forced you to think about how it was made. Slavery—a practice as ancient as human civilization—was becoming unacceptable, a form of inhumanity people could no longer tolerate. Which sentence best states the authors' claim in this passage? Sugar was so cheap that it made economic sense for people in England to buy loaves of it. It was wiser for English people to buy sugar from India instead of the Caribbean. Slavery was so widespread that it would have been foolish for the English to oppose it. Boycotting was an effective and persuasive tool in the fight against slavery.

1) What two words disguise the seriousness of plagiarism
ira [324]

Answer 1)

Two words which can disguise the seriousness of plagiarism are

  • Copying
  • Borrowing

Plagiarism can be described as the copying or borrowing of other people's work and using them without an reference. Plagiarism is considered to be a serious crime and a person is punished heavily for such actions. Plagiarism is considered to be unethical as it is stealing another person's knowledge or intelligence.

Answer No 2)

Some of the ways in which a plagiarism can arise are:

  • stealing and passing off (the ideas or words of another) as your own.
  • Using words from another article and not giving a reference
  • using (another's production) without crediting the source
  • committing literary theft
  • presenting as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.

Answer 3)

While planning a research project, we can prevent plagiarism by choosing topics on which little advancements are made so that there are less chances of plagiarism. We can read articles related to our research but frame the understandings from the articles in our own words rather than copying the article. we should try and choose such topics on research on which we have basic info so that we do not feel the need of copying other people's work.

Which opening sentence most strongly engages the reader and provides context?
svp [43]
Of the opening sentences that were presented here that strongly engages the reader and provides context to them would be the second one which is "We could have had a worse weekend, but it's awfully hard to beat Bigfoot and bugs."

The first and third one were just not good enough because it exposes the rest of the context to the reader and lets them have the idea of what you are talking about which usually leads to the readers not choosing to continue to read, thus taking out the reader's engagement but still provides context. The last one is better than the first and third, but it spilled the beans when it mentioned the particulars as to what made the weekend bad to worse. The answer is just right. It has the impact that would hook the reader to know more about your weekend and why is Bigfoot and bugs together in your statement. The rain wasn't mentioned which would be ideal to make the story telling take a turn to much worse which would spike up the interest of the reader.

Any book recommendations? i like any genre preferably romance but i also want to read more manga
il63 [147K]

I like the manga's "angels of death" and "demon slayer" (you probably already know demon slayer if you like manga/anime). angels of death is a good manga, though it has a lot of blood in the anime. Also, it might get a bit boring.
