PLEASE HELP TIMED! Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
Which statement is the most objective summary of the
passage?
We all crave sweetness, now more than ever since
there are so many ways to satisfy that need. And there
are still sugar plantations where the work is brutal. In
places like the Dominican Republic (Haiti's island
neighbor), some sugar work is not very different from
what it was for Marina's Indian ancestors in British
Guiana: hard, poorly paid labor by people who are often
mistreated. But for most of us, chemists have more to
say about how we satisfy that taste than do overseers.
When sugar is in the headlines, critics speak about how
much of it we eat, not who picked the crop. Doctors
warn that young people are gaining too much weight
from eating sugary snacks; parents learn that kids who
drink too many sweet sodas can cycle between manic
sugar "highs" and grinding sugar "crashes." No one
worries about where the sweetness comes from. Our
diet was transformed by the Age of Sugar, but that era is
O Craving sweetness leads to developing poor habits
around food.
O New sources of sweetness use better techniques
than the old sources did.
O Chemists conduct work that is not interesting to
much of the public.
O Sugar cane is no longer the main source of
sweetness for most people.
