Which text evidence best supports the authors' claim that sugar became an essential source of energy to
English workers in the 1800s?
Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
Traditionally, English workers had brewed their own
beer, which they drank along with bread, their other
major source of food. A Scottish writer of the late
1700s noticed that tea had become an economical
substitute to the middle and lower classes of society
for malt liquor," which they could no longer afford.
"Tea," which had to be transported from Asia, and
"sugar brought from the West Indies ... compose a
drink cheaper than beer." The new drink soon became
not only cheap but necessary.
O "Traditionally, English workers had brewed their own
beer, which they drank along with bread, their other
major source of food."
O "England was the first country in the world to shift
from making most of its money in traditional places,
such as farms, mines, or small shops, to factories."
O "Starting around 1800, sugar became the staple
food that allowed the English factories—the most
advanced economies in the world—to run."
O "Sugar supplied the energy, the hint of nutrition, the
sweet taste to go with the warmth of tea that even
the poorest factory worker could look forward to."
Why did the English, in particular, need a low-cost,
filling hot drink? In a word: factories. England was the
first country in the world to shift from making most of
its money in traditional places, such as farms, mines,
or small shops, to factories. In the early 1800s the
English figured out how to build machines to weave
cloth and how to organize workers so that they could

the tone of the passage is sympathetic to the forbidden love of romeo and juliet. the nurse plays a significant role in the play. she is responsible for making their meeting again possible. additionally, there is a sense of warning in the choice of words of the nurse. she seems to be authoritative when she calls romeo "scurvy knave", and at the same time the fact that she addresses to him as "sir" reflects respect. the nurse is "vexed", this word describes her confused state of mind. on the one hand, she finds romeo a fine and eloquent man, but on the other, it is thought that man's nature forces men to try to trick women.  

explanation:

the intellectual community is a place like a university where people with high marks, or original thought or an outstanding interest in something gather. they take classes together. they discuss things. they argue sometimes, and not always in a friendly way. but if they argue, it is because they are passionate about something, and there is nothing the matter with that.

lately i've been hearing rumors that it is not the way it was when i went to school. the one thing all schools used to have was free speech. the 1st amendment rights were sacred. now i'm hearing they are not. students can be reported and disciplined for giving an off the wall opinion.

that is shameful.

intellectual ideas are meant to be discussed. they are meant to be chewed up and worked on. that is the primary responsibility of every intellectual community. if that is not the way it is, then that is not a school to go to.

social media, in my opinion, and this is just an opinion. i wouldn't take it too seriously, complicates everything to do with human communication. you can want to share things and others feel they have the right to be very critical or sarcastic or mean about what you share. lack of respect is an immeasurable intolerable condition and social media abounds with that sort of thing.

one of the things i really like about is how careful people are because they must have some idea that the mods are exactly what the word says they are. they police this board very well, and what is so remarkable about them is that they are no older than the average grade 12 student.

my hat goes off to them (which means i respect them quite a bit).

sorry forgo thte passage
