Sugar Changed the World — Test

Question 6 • English 2

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World . Not only were Russian farms run on unfree labor, but they used very simple, old-fashioned methods of farming. Like the English back in the time of Henry III, all Russians aside from the very wealthy still lived in the Age of Honey—sugar was a luxury taken out only when special guests came to visit. Indeed, as late as 1894, when the average English person was eating close to ninety pounds of sugar a year, the average Russian used just eight pounds. What inference does the passage best support?

Answer
A
Most English citizens were very wealthy.
B
English people were fonder of sweets.
C
Russians did not run their farms well.
D
Most Russians in the 1890s were not wealthy.
