Question 16 Multiple Choice Worth 4 points) (LC)
From The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
Then her conscience reproached her, and she yearned to say something kind and loving, but she
judged that this would be construed into a confession that she had been in the wrong, and discipline
forbade that. So she kept silence, and went about her affairs with a troubled heart. Tom sulked in a
corner and exalted his woes. He knew that in her heart his aunt was on her knees to him, and he was
morosely gratified by the consciousness of it. He would hang out no signals, he would take notice of
none. He knew that a yearning glance fell upon him, now and then, through a film of tears, but he
refused recognition of it. He pictured himselflying sick unto death and his aunt bending over him
beseeching one little forgiving word, but he would turn his face to the wall, and die with that word
unsaid. Ah, how would she feel then? And he pictured himself brought home from the river, dead, with
his curis all wet, and his sore heart at rest. How she would throw herself upon him, and how her tears
would fall like rain, and her lips pray God to give her back her boy and she would never, never abuse
him any more! But he would lie there cold and white and make no sign-a poor little sufferer, whose
griefs were at an end. He so worked upon his feelings with the pathos of these dreams, that he had to
keep swallowing, he was so like to choke; and his eyes swam in a blur of water, which overflowed when
he winked, and ran down and trickled from the end of his nose. And such a luxury to him was this
petting of his sorrows, that he could not bear to have any worldly cheeriness or any grating delight
intrude upon it, it was too sacred for such contact, and so, presently, when his cousin Mary danced in,
all alive with the joy of seeing home again after an age-long visit of one week to the country, he got up
and moved in clouds and darkness out at one door as she brought song and sunshine in at the other.

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.
