Answer:
According to many people, organic food is healthier
because it does not contain the residue of pesticides.
However, numerous food scientists say that studies
have not proven that organic food is healthier. Furthermore
scientific studies have never conclusively linked pesticides
consumed on fruits and vegetables with cancer in humans.
Explanation:
First let us analyze two parts of this paragraph. First part praises organic food stating its positive health impacts and lack of pesticides. Second part does the opposite; it quotes scientific studies stating that there are no proves for claiming that organic food is healthier or that the pesticides cause cancer. Since these two parts are stating opposite things, we need to use opposing linkage such as <em>however</em>. The second part consists of two sentences which both gives us counterclaims for the first part. Since the second claim explains the first more clearly, giving us more details about it, here we need to use <em>furthermore</em>.
The new meaning would be (B). It becomes a verb that means "To punish for breaking a rule or a law".
In reality, these laws passed by government were only helpful to the government members since most of them were landowners. They wanted to earn more (money made/good thing received) from increased corn prices and not having to buy corn which they can help grow on (more than needed) land and sell it themselves. However, since most of the old England lived in cities, they had no land to grow the vegetable and depended on buying products (that are bought and sold). This is why (related to elected lawmakers) (people in charge of something) were unwilling to revise the law.
In 1828, the Duke of Wellington's government changed/redone the Corn Laws and they made a sliding scale for the weight-to-price of the corn. This rewriting/redoing still did not help the residents of old England since the price was still high.
