Here is the full passage for this question:

<span>There is likewise another diversion which is only shown before the emperor and the empress, and first minister, upon particular occasions. The emperor lays on the table three fine silken threads of six inches long; one is purple, the other yellow, and the third white. These threads are proposed as prizes for those persons whom the emperor has a mind to distinguish by a peculiar mark of his favor. . . . The emperor holds a stick in his hands, both ends parallel to the horizon, while the candidates advancing, one by one, sometimes leap over the stick, sometimes creep under it, backward and forward, several times, according as the stick is advanced or depressed.
</span>

I think the answer would be: <span>The emperor rewards his subjects for jumping over and under a stick.

The full passage basically tell the readers about the strange contest that both the emperor and the empress like to conduct. We can see from the third sentence that those who are able to finish emperor's contest will be rewarded with a thread of silk.</span>

What is the ​central idea​ of "Pots and Pans, but Little Pain"?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The central idea is to show how the foods offered in American supermarkets are very convenient, but unhealthy and attractive.

Explanation:

According to the article, we can see that as we age and understand more about healthy foods, the foods offered by supermarkets become less interesting. That's because, as adults, we look for the ease and practicality of frozen, extremely processed foods, fast food, among others. These foods do not propose a safe diet and can be very harmful, however, when an individual opts for healthier foods, he finds it difficult to find them in supermarkets.
