Answer quick i have 30 minutes left of my quiz! read the passage and study the image from sugar changed the world. cutting cane was hard work, but it was nothing like what came next: piles of freshly cut cane had to be fed into the ever-turning mill wheels, until they were completely crushed. the owners insisted that during the work hours the grinding never stop, no matter what. the mills were most often tended by women who were doing dangerous work while getting almost no rest. that was a very bad combination. an ax was often propped up near the rollers so if a slave closed her eyes for a second while pushing the cane, her arm could be hacked off before she was pulled through the merciless grinders. guests at sugar plantations often remarked on how many one-armed people they saw. day after day, week after week, month after month, the cane was cut, hauled to the mill, and fed through the rollers. the mills kept going as long as there was cane to grind—the season varied between four and ten months, depending on the local growing conditions. a visitor who came to brazil in 1630 described the scene: "people the color of the very night, working briskly and moaning at the same time without a moment of peace or rest, whoever sees all the confused and noisy machinery . . will say that this indeed is the image of hell.”in this illustration by william clark, sugar cane is fed into a mill to be ground. how does the illustration the reader understand the text? a. the illustration shows that grinding sugar with mechanical equipment is inefficient. b. the illustration emphasizes why grinding sugar cane into white sugar is necessary. c. the illustration depicts enslaved sugar mill workers as completely exhausted. d. the illustration depicts the people, equipment, and oxen required to manufacture sugar.

Returning from vietnam, we were given a parade. crowds of screaming people waving signs — not just on one road, one day. no, they were everywhere. every day. on the streets, on the television, on the radio. a hot, angry tangle of shaking fists and ugly words that threatened us like a monster with a hundred heads. our country had chewed us up and spit us out, and now we were being treated as if it were our fault. which sentence best uses figurative language to match the paragraph's tone? a. our feet were frozen in place as the street itself strained to hold us back. b. i felt unappreciated and condemned for actions i had thought were heroic. c. i hadn't expected to find myself in a rags-to-riches situation such as this. d. we had come home to a feeding frenzy and were being treated as bait.
