What is the authors' purpose in this passage?
Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World
In every single American slave state, the population of
enslaved people kept rising even after the slave trade was
abolished. That was because enough enslaved children
were born. lived, and grew to become adults. There was
just one exception to this rule: Louisiana, where the native-
born enslaved population kept dropping. Sugar was a killer.
Unlike the Caribbean Louisiana has cold snaps. That put
an additional pressure on the sugar harvest. Not only did
the slaves need to harvest the cane in perfect rhythm with
the grinding mills, but the entire crop had to be cut down
between mid-October and December. This pace only
increased when growers installed improved steam-
powered mills. People needed to work faster than the
weather and to keep pace with machines
to inform the reader that Louisiana had fewer enslaved
people than other slave states did
to inform the reader that Louisiana's hot weather
hastened the sugar harvest to a few months
to inform the reader that life for enslaved people
improved when sugar mills became powered by steam
to inform the reader that Louisiana's short harvest
season meant that enslaved people were cruelly

i believe the correct answers are c and e. hope i you.

explanation:

this doesnt make any sense imao

the hunger games, written by  suzanne collins, is fiction in the young adult genre, which is not my age group, but i found myself unable to put it down. its combination of nerve-racking tension, thrilling action, and engaging love story kept me up until the wee hours. i was surprised at how completely engrossing the plot was. like  brave new world, this story is set in a future where the government oppresses its people, but the book also borrows ideas from the greek myth of theseus and the minotaur.

divided into 12 districts, ruled by an oppressive government located at the  capitol. katniss everdeen, a 16-year-old girl from district 12, takes her younger sister’s place as one of 24 “tributes” selected every year to participate in the hunger games at the capitol.

while i found this book absolutely enthralling, i was surprised it was aimed at an audience of young adults. it seems extremely intense for anyone younger than 16 or 17. for example, there is a scene where one young tribute is slowly eaten alive by wolf-like creatures all night long, and katniss has to finally throw a weapon at him to end his misery. i found this a little too disturbing when i considered the age of the character.

the intensity of the action was something one would find in a more mature book, but the age of the characters and the simplicity of the prose were aimed at a much younger audience. in addition, this book was written in present tense, which i found annoying, but that’s more of a personal preference than a stylistic fault. it was also edited somewhat poorly, but that rarely distracted from the plot. for example, the author often spoke in sentence fragments to describe how katniss felt, which might have been an attempt to reflect on her thought process, but i found it disorienting to read a lot of really short sentences all together. it would have been better to vary the sentence length on occasion, but the story was still coherently.

overall,  the hunger games  was an excellent, enthralling read that i highly recommend. if it was more clearly marked for older teens, it would have been better, but it was a fantastic book with a wonderfully creative plot.

happy to .

pls mark as brainliest.

depends on your school

when i was in high school i took ap biology my senior year and it was the hardest one for me because my teacher finished the material within the first month of school and then went on to doing advanced college level it was horrible. but at a nearby school ap biology was one of the easier aps. also, it depends on what you are interested i like math a lot so ap calculus was easier for me than most but i hate history so ap us government was harder for me than most.
