The secular cooling that must someday overtake our planet has already gone far indeed with our neighbour. Its physical condition

is still largely a mystery, but we know now that even in its equatorial region the midday temperature barely approaches that of our coldest winter. Its air is much more attenuated than ours, its oceans have shrunk until they cover but a third of its surface, and as its slow seasons change huge snowcaps gather and melt about either pole and periodically inundate its temperate zones. That last stage of exhaustion, which to us is still incredibly remote, has become a present-day problem for the inhabitants of Mars. The immediate pressure of necessity has brightened their intellects, enlarged their powers, and hardened their hearts. And looking across space with instruments, and intelligences such as we have scarcely dreamed of, they see, at its nearest distance only 35,000,000 of miles sunward of them, a morning star of hope, our own warmer planet, green with vegetation and grey with water, with a cloudy atmosphere eloquent of fertility, with glimpses through its drifting cloud wisps of broad stretches of populous country and narrow, navy-crowded seas.
Which of the following is the main idea of this passage.

A. Inhabitants of Mars were blessed with an ever-increasing intelligence.

B. Melting snow-caps cause the inhabitants of Mars to prey upon the humans of Earth.

C. The distance between mars and Earth was not enough to deter invasion.

D. Inhabitants of Mars looked toward Earth for various reasons, some rather obvious.

How do the details in this passage support the authors purpose read the passage from sugar changed the world
OLEGan [10]

Answer: The missing passage to this question is "Sugar is different from honey. It offers a stronger sweet flavor, and like steel or plastic, it had to be invented. In the Age of Sugar, Europeans bought a product made thousands of miles away that was less expensive than the honey from down the road. That was possible only because sugar set people in motion all across the world—millions of them as slaves, in chains; a few in search of their fortunes. A perfect taste made possible by the most brutal labor: That is the dark story of sugar."

<em>The details in this passage support the author's purpose is " to help inform the readers about the reasons why sugar was so inexpensive and why the sugar industry was dependant on the use of slavery.</em>

Explanation:

In the book, the process of how sugar was made by slaves is described in full detail. The slaves were abused and were chained together so that the European men could make a large profit without paying for the labor. Honey was, and is still expensive, but was a natural product while sugar had to be invented and processed to be eaten and used for medicinal purposes. In those times, only the wealthy were able to buy this type processed sugar. Many slaves died while working on the sugar plantations, they were beaten if they did not work fast. They also worked all day and way into the night without breaks. Many men became millionaires off the blood and sweat of slaves.

This passage is from the book "Sugar Changed the World: A Story of Magic, Spice, Slavery, Freedom, and Science." This book was written both Marina Budhos and Marc Aronson in the year 2010.

The purpose of this workshop is……….new employees with all the necessary informationto provideprovideprovidedprovision
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The answer is "to provide."

Explanation:

The sentence "The purpose of this workshop is _____ new employees with all the necessary information" requires an infinitive to be completed. An infinitive is the basic form of a verb, without an inflection binding it to a particular subject or tense. "To provide" is an infinitive, and thus completes the sentence properly.
