A rock drawing in Spain from about 7000 B.C. shows a man who has climbed a hillside, found a crevice holding a hive, and is reaching in to grab the honey. Indeed, a lucky wanderer in just about any part of Europe, Africa, or Asia that wasn't covered with ice could stumble on a hive and—at the risk of some stings—come away with a treat. (People in the Americas had no bees, so used syrups made from maple trees, agave cactus, or mashed fruits for their sweeteners.) Then someone figured out that you didn't have to be lucky. You could hollow out a log near bees, and they would make it their home. You could "keep" bees—you didn't have to find them.

The Italian merchants sometimes sailed across the Mediterranean Sea to Syria, where they could buy black pepper that had been grown on the southwest coast of India. The tiny dried black peppercorns were the perfect item to trade, because the small ships of the time could carry enough to make a nice profit. From India the pepper was shipped across to Arabia, where camel caravans would carry it all the way to Syria. The Italians could purchase enough pepper in Syria to carry with them to the next Champagne fair. Every count whose cook added the bite of costly black pepper to his food knew he was getting a taste of far distant lands. As late as 1300, Jean de Joieville, a French writer who had actually lived in the Muslim world, still believed that these spices came from the outer edges of the Garden of Eden, located somewhere along the river Nile. There, people "cast their nets outspread into the river, at night; and when morning comes, they find in their nets such goods as . . . ginger, rhubarb, wood of aloes, and cinnamon."

What is the central idea of the passage?
In the Middle Ages, spices that are now ordinary were rare imports from faraway places.
The spices at the Champagne fair were from the Middle East, where they were used in cooking.

The Champagne fairs relied on a vast trade network that drove up the prices of new and rare goods.

Which text evidence best supports the authors' claim that sugar became an essential source of energy to English workers in the 1800s?
"Traditionally, English workers had brewed their own beer, which they drank along with bread, their other major source of food."
"England was the first country in the world to shift from making most of its money in traditional places, such as farms, mines, or small shops, to factories."
"Starting around 1800, sugar became the staple food that allowed the English factories—the most advanced economies in the world—to run."
"Sugar supplied the energy, the hint of nutrition, the sweet taste to go with the warmth of tea that even the poorest factory worker could look forward to."

Which option presents a complete and effective evaluation of Dan DeLuca's argument in his article "Dylan's Nobel Prize Settles Debate: Rock Lyrics Are Poetry"?
According to DeLuca, Dylan deserved the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was the first American since 1993 to win it and was one of President Obama's favorite poets. Since he was at the height of his popularity in the 1960s, this award shows that his influence has stood the test of time.
DeLuca believes that rock lyrics must be recognized as poetry because legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan has been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. In doing so, the Nobel committee has recognized the value of Dylan's words, which have spoken for and inspired generations since the 1960s.
According to Dan Deluca, Bob Dylan was an unlikely choice for the Nobel Prize for Literature. Many experts refuse to believe that song lyrics are poetry, and the odds against Dylan winning the award were high. DeLuca also points out that the award has little monetary value in comparison with Dylan's wealth.
Dan DeLuca is a fan of Bob Dylan's lyrics. He seems to know them by heart and quotes from many songs in his article. He also recognizes Dylan's influence on other artists, such as the novelist Salman Rushdie, the singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen, and many rap artists, who imitate Dylan's use of internal rhyme.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
A stream of pale ash-colored syrup gushed out from the mills, bubbling white with foam. The liquid rushed down a wooden gutter directly into the boiling house, a building of massive furnaces and cauldrons, where the syrup was heated and strained and turned into crystals. A giant copper kettle—often about four feet across and three feet deep—waited for the pale river. This was the first in a series of ever-smaller cauldrons, and beneath each gaped what the Brazilians called the "great open mouths"—the huge furnaces that had to be constantly filled with the wood that workers had chopped down and hauled to be ready for this moment. The boiling house was as perilous as the mills, for if a person nodded off for a second, he or she could slip into a bubbling vat.
Mammoth fires burned in the "mouths," clouds of steam billowed above the kettles, and the heat was so intense that the boiling houses had to be sprayed with water so they would not go up in flames. Then there was the smell, or rather, the stench of the boiling liquid. As the [sugar cane] juice boiled, a foul scum rose to the top—which a slave had to keep skimming off with a long-handled ladle. Over and over again the liquid had to be strained and purified, even as it kept boiling, boiling, boiling in the copper vats.
