Answer:
B). Chocolate is now a sweet treat that is very popular in the United States.
Explanation:
The second statement most aptly relates the two given facts. It <u>states that chocolate has now become a sweet treat(implies that 'it wasn't sweet treat earlier despite being there since ancient times') and has become quite popular as reflected by huge consumption of '3 billion pounds' every year</u>. Thus, the second option amalgamates the two facts and displays that how the latter has led to former and how the former led to bring change in the latter by making it a popular sweet treat in the United States. Therefore, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
Answer:
"It burns the prettiest of any wood" is a phrase that, through allegory, focuses on the concept of equality, by establishing that everything that has the same characteristics will ultimately have the same result, since the intrinsic equal nature of things means that, despite minor differences, this difference is not seen in the essence of the thing. Thus, all those things that are essentially the same, such as wood, beyond their minor characteristics (beauty, for example) are equal to each other and therefore will burn in the same way.
Answer:
The setting in this excerpt reveals:
C. a lack of sophistication.
Explanation:
The excerpt offers details of how rudimentary the table, dishes and cutlery were. There is no sophistication; everything about them is rustic - the materials as well as the way they are made. There is wood, horn, pewter. There is a table carved with a broad-axe. There are hunting-knives instead of table knives. If something broke easily - and the author says crockery did -, it was discarded. Durability and usefulness were priorities.
