Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. Underneath the clash over rights, laws, and work rules, there was a deeper truth
that the planters were sensing: The Age of Sugar was ending. On the one hand, the work on the plantations was now guided by a web of laws and rules that even an Indian coolie like Bechu could use to challenge the owners. Workers were individuals, not property. On the other hand, world sugar prices were plummeting. Owners no longer had the economic clout of being a mainstay of the economy. Instead, smaller plantations were going bankrupt. The old ways were simply not working anymore. Why were sugar prices falling? Because of competition from another part of the world. The evidence in this passage could best be described as empirical evidence showing that sugar prices were plummeting all over the world. logical evidence showing that sugar farming was changing because of laws and low prices. ethical evidence showing that the drop in sugar prices was forcing smaller plantations to go bankrupt. anecdotal evidence showing that smaller plantations were losing money and going bankrupt.
The right answer would be B)Logical evidence showing that sugar farming was changing because of laws and low prices. I just read the passage and knew it was right. :) Hoped this helped
