Select the correct texts in the passage. Which phrase best states the author's opinion on assisting children's development?
adapted excerpt from "Some Rights of Children as Persons" in School Education
by Charlotte Mason
A very interesting and instructive educational experiment on these lines has lately been tried in Hackney, where Mr. Sargent got together some
eighty boys and girls under the conditions of an ordinary elementary school The results seem to have been purely delightful; the children
developed an amazing capacity for drawing, perhaps because so soon as they were familiar with the outlines of the flower and foliage of a given
plant, for example, they were encouraged to form designs with these elements. The really beautiful floral designs produced by these girls and
boys, after quite a short art training, would surprise parents whose children have been taught drawing for years with no evident result. These
children developed themselves a great deal on their school magazine also, for which they wrote tales and poems, and essays, not prescribed
work, but self-chosen. The children's thought was stimulated, and they felt they had it in them to say much about a doll's ball, Peter, the school
cat, or whatever other subject struck their fancy. "They felt their feet" as the nurses say of children when they begin to walk; and our
non-success in education is a good deal due to the fact that we carry children through their school work and do not let them feel their feet.

Read the passage, then answer the question that follows. no one could have seen it at the time, but the invention of beet sugar was not just a challenge to cane. it was a hint—just a glimpse, like a twist that comes about two thirds of the way through a movie—that the end of the age of sugar was in sight. for beet sugar showed that in order to create that perfect sweetness you did not need slaves, you did not need plantations, in fact you did not even need cane. beet sugar was a foreshadowing of what we have today: the age of science, in which sweetness is a product of chemistry, not whips. in 1854 only 11 percent of world sugar production came from beets. by 1899 the percentage had risen to about 65 percent. and beet sugar was just the first challenge to cane. by 1879 chemists discovered saccharine—a laboratory-created substance that is several hundred times sweeter than natural sugar. today the sweeteners used in the foods you eat may come from corn (high-fructose corn syrup), from fruit (fructose), or directly from the lab (for example, aspartame, invented in 1965, or sucralose—splenda—created in 1976). brazil is the land that imported more africans than any other to work on sugar plantations, and in brazil the soil is still perfect for sugar. cane grows in brazil today, but not always for sugar. instead, cane is often used to create ethanol, much as corn farmers in america now convert their harvest into fuel. –sugar changed the world, marc aronson and marina budhos how does this passage support the claim that sugar was tied to the struggle for freedom? it shows that the invention of beet sugar created competition for cane sugar. it shows that technology had a role in changing how we sweeten our foods. it shows that the beet sugar trade provided jobs for formerly enslaved workers. it shows that sweeteners did not need to be the product of sugar plantations and slavery.
