Read the excerpt from"Early Victorian Tea Set.”What could be more domestic, more unremarkable, more British, than a nice cup of tea? You could of course put the question the other way round and ask what could be less British than a cup of tea, given that tea is made from plants grown in India or China and often sweetened by sugar from the Caribbean. It is one of the ironies of British national identity – or perhaps it says everything about our national identity – that the drink which has become the worldwide caricature of Britishness has nothing indigenous about it, but is the result of centuries of global trade and a complex imperial history.

A
Indian tea is more delicious than tea from China.
B
Drinking tea is very popular in the Caribbean.
C
Many people around the world now drink tea, but Britain was the one to make it popular.
D
It is ironic that tea is the symbol of Britain when tea does not come from Britain at all.
