The passage's main idea is that undefeatable Alexander wanted to know the world, he was curious about it, more than just conquer it.

The statement that best summarizes the passage from "Sugar changed the world" is:

Alexander the Great continued exploring even though his Greek soldiers quit.

The passage emphasizes that he is too curious to stop exploring and even though his soldiers were tired of fighting and homesick ( they have been fighting for a decade!) he called his close friend Nearchus and sent them to investigate the coast of India by ship.

We know by further investigation that he went on the expedition called the Indian campaign and he recorded his investigations in detail. He went as far as the Euphrates before turning back to rejoin Alexander at Susa, in early 324 BC.

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have a basic subject+verb+object structure.

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the answer is c just took the test.
