What evidence from the passage best supports the
inference that sugar cane had special significance in the
ancient era? Select three options.
"you lie down and face a three-cornered fire pot"
One of these early Hindu writings, the Atharva Veda, speaks
of an archer's bow made of sugar cane. It tells of growing a
circle of sugar cane as a kind of sweet protection for a lover,
and it includes specific instructions on how to use sugar
cane. To worship and request help from Durga, the most
important goddess, you lie down and face a three-cornered
fire pot. Then, as you speak the sacred words, you place
your offerings in the fire.
"sugar cane was now an ingredient in ceremonies
involving fire"
"it crystallized into sweet, dark brown clumps"
"Perhaps that transformation itself seemed magical
"sugar cane is called ikshu, which means 'something that
pĂĄ ple want"
