Answer:
How long had you owned the flat before you sold it?
My shoes were dirty because I had worked in the garden?
Explanation:
The past perfect tense also known as the pluperfect is used to refer to an action or event that occurred before a specified time in the past. It is formed by combining 'had' with the past participle or past tense of the main verb. In the two sentences above, the correct tenses are;
had you owned, and
had worked.
The events happened before a specific time in the past. For example, The first subject owned a flat in the past, before he sold it. The ownership as well as the sale were both past events.
Answer:
Sugar production requires a great deal of workers.
Explanation: In multiple passages in the paragraph, we can see that the author puts emphasis on the number of workers:
"The only way to make a lot of sugar is to engineer a system in which an army of workers swarms through the fields, cuts the cane, and hauls the pile to be crushed into a syrup that flows into the boiling room. There, laboring around the clock, workers cook and clean the bubbling liquid so that the sweetest syrup turns into the sweetest sugar. "
Thus, we can deduce that most likely answer is: Sugar production requires a great deal of workers.

The analysis of the poem "The song of the women of my land" by Oumar Farouk Sesay is-
The poet Oumar Farouk Sesay says that the women in his time used to sing songs whose lyrics represented the hardwork that they suffered during ploughing of land, the pain they suffered when they were treated as servants, handcuffed and ill-treated.
The song represented the pain, the love, compassion etc. The song represented their way of living and the history of time they saw.
But now all those women were dead and the song and lyrics were gone. They lyric were now used by local poets and singers. The voice of the song was dead now. The song was no longer comforting.
