Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. Eventually, I visited Guyana to find out the fate of our house. As our car passed
old sugar estates, and I saw the palm trees bending against the wide sky, the lush cane growing in thick, shiny rows, the villages, which were really parcels of land surrounding the important estates, I realized that sugar had been the entire reason for this country's existence. Every now and then an old boiling house—where the cane is processed into crystals, molasses, and rum—would show itself on the flat landscape, cropping up like a hulking ghost. How do the details about Guyana reveal the author’s purpose? They show that the author wants to persuade readers that her family was important. They show that the author wants to inform readers by describing the old sugar estates. They show that the author wants to entertain readers with stories about the plantations. They show that the author wants to inform readers about the fate of the family’s house.
The correct answer is "They show that the author wants to inform readers by describing the old sugar estates."
By describing the old sugar states, the author was able to emphasize how important sugar canes were to the country. The crops and old boiling houses are the dominating factor of the excerpt.

To compel the audience to think about the actions of anarchists and urge wealthy Indians to act instead of merely talking about poverty is the goal of the author's use of Hypophora. Hypophora is a figure of speech where the author raises a question, and then immediately provides an answer to that question.
