How do the authors support their claim and purpose with their choice of words? read the passage from sugar changed the world. the sugar that piled up on the docks near the plantations was something new in the world: pure sweetness, pure pleasure, so cheap that common people could afford it. scientists have shown that people all over the world must learn to like salty tastes, sour tastes, mixed tastes. but from the moment we are born, we crave sweetness. cane sugar was the first product in human history that perfectly satisfied that desire. and the bitter lives of the enslaved africans produced so much sugar that pure sweetness began to spread around the world. by using words with only positive connotations by using words that criticize sugar by repeating the words pure, sweetness, and tastes by repeating the words cheap and bitter

C) by repeating the words pure, sweetness, and tastes

Explanation:

The correct answer is the C. By repeating the words pure, sweetness, and tastes.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that since the purpose of the authors in this passage is to stress the terrible conditions in which slaves found themselves working in order to produce vast quantities of sugar, and also to explain why sugar became immediately so desirable—human beings are inherently inclined to like a sweet flavor right away, whether they need to develop a taste for salty or sour flavor—they emphasize the words "sweetness," "pure," and "tastes." By doing so, they show and stress the irony of the slave trade, which condemned a certain sector of the population to mass-produce a delicious substance that easily captivated other sectors of the population that effortless had access to it and consumed it.  

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
