Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

Sugar was the connection, the tie, between slavery and freedom. In order to create sugar, Europeans and colonists in the Americas destroyed Africans, turned them into objects. Just at that very same moment, Europeans—at home and across the Atlantic—decided that they could no longer stand being objects themselves. They each needed to vote, to speak out, to challenge the rules of crowned kings and royal princes. How could that be? Why did people keep speaking of equality while profiting from slaves? In fact, the global hunger for slave-grown sugar led directly to the end of slavery. Following the strand of sugar and slavery leads directly into the tumult of the Age of Revolutions. For in North America, then England, France, Haiti, and once again North America, the Age of Sugar brought about the great, final clash between freedom and slavery.

Which sentence best states the authors' claim in this passage?

A: Economic demand for sugar led to political pressure to end enslavement.
B: The growing demand for sugar made the lives of enslaved people even worse.
C: Turning Africans into objects was important for the sugar industry to succeed.
D: Monarchies became increasingly strong and popular during the Age of Sugar.

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea:
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

–"Hope is the thing with feathers,"
Emily Dickinson

Bring on the Beets

This is a draft of a student's narrative essay.

My dad used to say there aren't really foods he doesn't like, just foods he hasn't liked yet. I'm inclined to agree with him because there's a clear line of demarcation in my life: days of beet disdain and beet delight.

Have you ever had a yellow beet? Me neither, until an innocent visit to Atwoods Café on an otherwise ordinary day. The lunch crowd buzzed as I sat at a table for two near the door, surveying the menu until I landed on a list of appetizing ingredients: Bibb lettuce, asparagus, goat cheese, pistachios, and . . . yellow beets with a lemon dill vinaigrette. Dressing on the side and hold the beets. That was my first inclination.

"What can I get for you today?" my server asked.

"I'd like your Bibb lettuce salad with dressing on side and no beets, please," I replied.

"Have you ever had yellow beets?" my server inquired, peering over the rim of his glasses like my dad.

"Actually, no," I replied sheepishly. "It's a texture thing—they seem so slimy."

"Ours are delicious. Give them a try and, if you don't like them, I'll bring you a beet-free salad." And he was off before I could object.

Let me tell you, yellow beets are beautiful! They're a vibrant, golden yellow that brightens a plate like sunshine. I'm no culinary expert, but when food looks good, it tastes better, right? These yellow beets sure did. They were smooth, not slimy, and mildly sweet, not so earthy, though they grew to fullness underground. This was my moment of conversion. My delight in yellow beets extended beyond the walls of Atwoods as I sought this delicious root vegetable on other menus, in recipes, and at farmer's markets.

I have learned there really aren't foods I don't like, just foods that I haven't liked yet and, who knows? Maybe I'll give bananas a second chance.
