Where Does Chocolate Come From? 1 Most Americans consume chocolate frequently, if not daily. In fact, studies indicate that Amer

icans eat approximately 100 pounds of chocolate each second. People eat chocolate frequently, and in various forms, from cocoa powder when they bake brownies, to candies when they watch movies, to chocolate chip cookies when they pack school lunches. Given the amount of chocolate Americans consume, it is worthwhile to ask where it comes from and how it is made. 2 Amazingly, making chocolate is a highly complicated, multi–step process that starts with hand–picked bean pods and ends with processed chocolate that comes in a multitude of shapes and sizes.

They have big, broad leaves, colorful pink and white flowers, and the highly–sought after seed pods. Each pod can hold from 20–40 beans and each tree can be harvested twice per year on average.

Once the pods are cut down, they are broken by hand to release the purple seeds and the white pulp that surrounds them. 4 Fermentation is the next step. The seeds and the pulp are kept together and placed either in a box with holes for draining or in a huge pile. Regardless of the method, in this step the pulp drains away and leaves the fermented seeds ready for the next step. This pro

The following is a cause and effect sentence.
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

B. False

Explanation:

This answer is False, because: the cause and effect format is arranged incorrectly. A proper writting of this sentence would be:

Because of the thunder, lightning, and dark sky, the girl was scared.

With cause and effect problems, always ask yourself: Why did this happen? <em>Because of this</em>. Why was the girl scared? Because of the thunder lightning and dark sky.
