<span>"His historical researches, however, did not lie so much among books as among men; for the former are lamentably scanty on his favorite topics; whereas he found the old burghers, and still more their wives, rich in that legendary lore, so invaluable to true history. Whenever, therefore, he happened upon a genuine Dutch family, snugly shut up in its low-roofed farmhouse, under a spreading sycamore, he looked upon it as a little clasped volume of black-letter,' and studied it with the zeal of a book-worm.""Rip Van Winkle," 1994 edition, 1-2

The answer A. This passage introduces the story’s antagonist.
Many people often use hot chocolate mix with water or milk, as directed. In my opinion it's best when made with melted chocolate and milk in a pot on the stove. Usually adding a few tiny ingredients like cinnamon, vanilla extract (Small amounts), and/or sugar is good to spice things up. Top a cup of it off with some marshmallows, and you have some very good hot chocolate. Now keep in mind, when cooking it, you don't want too much chocolate compared to milk or vise/versa. It's best when it's at about a caramel consistency. Putting too much chocolate can cause it to attempt to harden over time, or putting too much milk can overpower the taste of the chocolate.
I hope this helped and I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks!
