Based on this passage, which of the following is true? Ronnie was on vacation for 5 days in Vail, Colorado, with his family. His parents had let him invite a friend to come along, so he had invited his best friend Brett. Having grown up in Vermont, the boys were familiar with being around snow and skiing. But they were not familiar with the ski slopes in Vail. Ronnie’s parents were worried the black slopes were too dangerous for two teenage boys. However, they wanted to ski the black slopes, so they went off on their own. Ronnie and Brett buddied up to ski together down the easier slopes. Brett wanted to start off skiing down the blue slopes, but Ronnie convinced him to take it easy since it was possible Vail’s blue slopes were more difficult than the blue slopes they had gone down back home in Vermont. So they hit the green slopes instead.
They rode the chair lift up the hill. Once at the top of the hill, they began their descent down the mountain—Brett in his blue ski jacket and Ronnie in his yellow ski jacket. It was smooth sailing down the mountain. The boys decided to try a blue slope next. Once at the top of the hill, they began their trek down the mountain. Brett, feeling adventurous and confident, sped past Ronnie. Brett didn’t seem to want to slow down. Ronnie kept skiing at his leisurely pace but noticed someone wearing blue suddenly falling into the powdery snow half-way down the mountain. Could that be Brett? Ronnie thought to himself.
Ronnie approached the blue-jacketed skier. Although the skier had snow covering his face, he could tell it was indeed Brett.
“Brett, what happened?” Ronnie asked.
“I don’t know, dude. I just took a sudden tumble. Give me a moment to catch my breath. That really shook me up.”
Brett began to get up but collapsed back into the snow and yelled, “Ouch, my arm!”
Ronnie leaned down to help his friend up. “Let me help you. You can hold onto me with your good arm.”
Together they slowly skied down to the bottom of the hill. Ronnie found a ski medic to come look at Brett’s arm. The ski medic said that Brett probably just sprained it but would need to get an X-ray to be sure.
The boys met up with Ronnie’s parents who drove Brett to the closest emergency room so he could get an X-ray. Fortunately, all he had was a sprained elbow, which he was told should heal up in a few weeks. The doctor outfitted Brett with an elbow brace and told him to take it easy for the next month and to avoid any sports.

A.

The ski medic takes an X-ray of Brett's arm and elbow.

B.

Brett cannot ski for the remaining part of the trip.

C.

Brett will get an X-ray when he returns to Vermont.

D.

Ronnie's parents pay for Brett's emergency room visit.

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.
