Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

If you walked down Beekman Street in New York in the 1750s, you would come to a general store owned by Gerard Beekman—his family gave the street its name. The products on his shelves showed many of the ways sugar was linking the world. Beekman and merchants like him shipped flour, bread, corn, salted beef, and wood to the Caribbean. They brought back sugar, rum, molasses, limes, cocoa, and ginger. Simple enough; but this trade up and down the Atlantic coast was part of a much larger world system. Textbooks talk about the Triangle Trade: Ships set out from Europe carrying fabrics, clothes, and simple manufactured goods to Africa, where they sold their cargoes and bought people. The enslaved people were shipped across the Atlantic to the islands, where they were sold for sugar. Then the ships brought sugar to North America, to be sold or turned into rum—which the captains brought back to Europe. But that neat triangle—already more of a rectangle—is completely misleading. Beekman's trade, for example, could cut out Europe entirely. British colonists' ships set out directly from New York and New England carrying the food and timber that the islands needed, trading them for sugar, which the merchants brought back up the coast. Then the colonists traded their sugar for English fabrics, clothes, and simple manufactured goods, or they took their rum directly to Africa to buy slaves—to sell to the sugar islands. English, North American, French, and Dutch ships competed to supply the Caribbean plantations and buy their sugar. And even all these boats filling the waters of the Atlantic were but one part of an even larger system of world trade. Africans who sold other Africans as slaves insisted on being paid in fabrics from India. Indeed, historians have discovered that some 35 percent of the cargo typically taken from Europe to Africa originally came from India. What could the Europeans use to buy Indian cloth? The Spanish shipped silver from the mines of Bolivia to Manila in the Philippines, and bought Asian products there. Any silver that English or French pirates could steal from the Spanish was also ideal for buying Asian cloth. So to get the fabrics that would buy the slaves that could be sold for sugar for the English to put into their tea, the Spanish shipped silver to the Philippines, and the French, English, and Dutch sailed east to India. What we call a triangle was really as round as the globe.

I am just a year older than you, and I have dealt with all of the bullyings I can handle and more. One thing you can do is be apart of a group instead of putting yourself on your own where it is easier to get targeted. Talk to an adult if it keeps happening. Something I did was talk to everyone in each class (unless you are the same people all day) and evaluate who would be a good friend. If they come off as sweet but show malice to others, avoid them. Also, avoid people who come off as disrespectful to their elders. They will only end up being the one doing something wrong and pinning it on you. message me if you want to talk about any specifics because I can help with tons of situations. if you need someone to vent it to you can talk to me! ;)

Answer:

Option B,C and E ("head held high", "smile to yourself", "special bond")

Explanation:

Complete Question:

Read the excerpt from Does My Head Look Big in This? by Randa Abdel-Fattah.

Because it’s pretty hard to walk around with people staring at your "towel-head” and not feel kind of pleased with yourself if you manage to get through the stares and comments with your head held high. That’s when this warm feeling buzzes through you and you smile to yourself, knowing God’s watching you, knowing that He knows you’re trying to be strong and please Him. Like you’re both in on a private joke and something special and warm and extraordinary is happening and nobody else in the world knows about it because it’s your own experience, your own personal friendship with your Creator. I guess when I’m not wearing the hijab I feel like I’m missing out. I feel cheated out of that special bond.

Which phrases from the excerpt best support the narrator’s confident tone?

SELECT THREE OPTIONS

A) “people staring”

B) “head held high”

C) “smile to yourself”

D) “feel cheated”

E) “special bond”

"head held high", "smile to yourself", "special bond" are phrases from the excerpt best support the narrator’s confident tone

The above phrases support the narrator´s confident tone. These phrases are the typical example of how the narrator feels despite going through a difficult situation due to the way people react to her because of what she wore on her head.

Despite all the negative or unwelcome vibes, she held her head high, smile to herself because she is proud of her belief, no matter what other people may think or say about it and this all happened as a result of the special bond she had with God which made her not to be scare of fulfilling her responsibilities to the creator.

<em>"That’s when this warm feeling buzzes through you and you smile to yourself,..."  </em>

<em>"something special and warm and extraordinary is happening and nobody else in the world knows about it..."  </em>

<em>"because it’s your own experience, your own personal friendship with your Creator".</em>
