Answer: "By contrast, the plantation had only one purpose: to create a single product that could be grown, ground, boiled, dried, and sold to distant markets."

Explanation:

Sugar Changed the World is a book written by Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos. In the book, they explore the history of sugar, particularly in slave trade.

In this excerpt, the author's claim is that plantation was considered as a revolutionary way of making sugar: the whole process from planting the seeds to drying and selling it was happening in one place. It was the first time in human history that the farms were organized in such a way. The correct answer is, therefore, the second option.

Which phrase is the best explanation of indirect characterization?

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

I believe it's "describing a character's speech, actions, or thoughts", because indirect characterization is when the readers are able to learn about a character through what they do and how they act. While the author or narrator, out right telling who this character is and their motives, would just be direct characterization.

Hope this makes sense :)

Write two to three senténces explaining how the image reinforces the text?

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The text uses descriptive details to help the reader understand how a chronometer works, and the image reinforces those details. The image allows readers to see all of the individual parts of the chronometer, such as the dials and the wooden case. It might be difficult for the reader to visualize how the chronometer is suspended in a swiveling brass ring, but the image helps the reader understand exactly how the chronometer is put together.

Hope this answer your question

What was the main thesis of Jon Ronson’s book The Psychopath Test and what does his work contribute to the understanding of psyc

cestrela7 [59]

Ronson explores the idea that many corporate and governmental leaders are psychopaths whose actions to others can only be explained by taking that fact into account, and he privately uses the Hare test to determine if he can discern any truth to it. Statistics say that psychopaths are 1% of society, but 4% of economic, political or religious leaders; that is, psychopathy is four times more frequent in the high spheres.

In at least 150 words, discuss the significance of setting in Melville's "Bartleby the Scrivener." Use evidence from the text to

Viktor [21]

The setting in Melville’s “Bartleby the Scrivener” is a crucial element in the story. The extended title, “A Story of Wall-Street”, provides the specific setting as regards place. At that time, Wall Street had become an important financial center in America. As regards the year of publication, the work was first published in 1953 which was a time of rapid development in American economy.

The story takes place in a law office in Manhattan. The office presents an unfriendly environment that resembles the business-based atmosphere of Wall Street. The space is described as “entirely unhallowed by humanizing domestic associations” (p.36). In that way, the author describes the impersonality of a business society. In this context, the author does not provide the reader with any information about the characters apart from their particular behavior in the office. Also, the word “walls” is repeated many times throughout the story and they refer to the barriers between employer and employee.
