"'enter,' said de lacey, 'and i will try in what manner i can to relieve your wants; but, unfortunately, my children are from home, and as i am blind, i am afraid i shall find it difficult to procure food for you.'
"'do not trouble yourself, my kind host; i have food; it is warmth and rest only that i need.'
"i sat down, and a silence ensued. i knew that every minute was precious to me, yet i remained irresolute in what manner to commence the interview, when the old man addressed me. 'by your language, stranger, i suppose you are my countryman; are you french? '
"'no; but i was educated by a french family and understand that language only. i am now going to claim the protection of some friends, whom i sincerely love, and of whose favour i have some hopes.'
"'are they germans? '
"'no, they are french. but let us change the subject. i am an unfortunate and deserted creature, i look around and i have no relation or friend upon earth. these amiable people to whom i go have never seen me and know little of me. i am full of fears, for if i fail there, i am an outcast in the world forever.'

"'they are kindâthey are the most excellent creatures in the world; but, unfortunately, they are prejudiced against me. i have good dispositions; my life has been hitherto harmless and in some degree beneficial; but a fatal prejudice clouds their eyes, and where they ought to see a feeling and kind friend, they behold only a detestable monster.'

Read the passage from sugar changed the world. but it is in india, where it was used as an offering in religious and magical ceremonies, that we have the first written record of sugar. long before the first pyramids were built in egypt, the ancient sumerians traded with the people of harappa and mohenjo daro, who lived along the indus river. unfortunately, we are still not able to read the writings left behind from those ancient cities. so the first documents telling us about life in that region come from a much later period. these hindu sacred teachings were probably first gathered together sometime between 1500 and 900 b. c., and were carefully memorized. only hundreds of years later were they finally written down. the hindu writings tell us of a religion in which fire was extremely important. people believed that the gods gave fire to human beings. yet fire was also a way for humans to reach the gods. by placing offerings in a special fire, a priest could turn them into smoke and send them on to the gods. five ingredients were selected for this special burning: milk, cheese, butter, honey, and sugar cane. which details would best fit in a summary of this passage? select two options. "in india . . it was used as an offering in religious and magical ceremonies" "the first written record of sugar" "long before the first pyramids were built in egypt" "gods gave fire to human beings" "a priest could turn them into smoke and send them on to the gods"

Read the rough-draft paragraph. exercising daily is one of the best ways to the body fight fatigue, illness, stress, and weight gain. whether taking a bike ride, enjoying a walk, or going for a swim, the type of activity is not as important as exercising consistently. often, people begin the new year with the resolution of exercising, but within a few months that commitment is quickly forgotten. the key is to choose something that is accessible, enjoyable, and affordable. exercising just thirty minutes a day not only strengthens the heart and lungs, but it also to boost oneâs energy. another way to feel more energized is to eat a balanced diet. since no single food item can supply the body with everything it needs, it is important to eat a variety of foods. so to maintain a long, happy life, get out there and get moving, and enjoy a wide range of healthy meals. which statement best describes the mistake the writer makes in this paragraph?
