Read Jao's essay and his intended revision. During World War II, pilots in the Royal Air Force had a problem. They did not have a good way to record Information or update their logs in
flight. There were no pens that worked well in the cramped and strained environment of the airplane cockpit. The standard fountain pens were too
sensitive to changing atmospheric pressure. Early ballpoint pens could not be used to write on vertical or overhead surfaces. Both kinds of pens
could be leaky
[1Fortunately, two Hungarian war refugees, the Biro brothers, had a solution. [2] They had been able to solve the problems of previous
ballpoint pens. [3] Basically, if the Ink used in ballpoint pens was good at drying quickly, it was too thick and caused the pen's ball to stick. [4] On the
other hand, if the Ink flowed freely, it was smudgy like fountain pen ink and the ball could not keep the reserve Ink from leaking out of the pen.
[5] Georg Biro, a chemist, solved the problem by using ink similar to that used in printing newspapers. [6] His brother Laszlo, a Journalist, had given
him the key idea. [7] Quickly, the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Corps adopted the new technology and a small problem was
solved. [8] The two brothers who had their lives in Budapest destroyed by the start of the war and who had fled across Europe finally ending up in
Buenos Aires, Argentina were able, in a small way, to aid in the war effort.
Jao wants to add this sentence to his essay to elaborate on the contribution of Georg's brother.
Laszlo Biro is actually most often remembered as the inventor of the ballpoint pen because he also invented the mechanism for the tip of the pen.
Where should Jao insert the additional sentence?
O 1. after sentence 2
O 2. after sentence 4
O 3.
after sentence 6
04.
after sentence 8

An expository essay instructs, provides information, or explains. in this essay, you are presenting information and explaining why you think the ideas and work of the individual you chose had an effect on european thought. but before you begin writing the essay, you need to organize the information you’ve gathered by creating an outline. directions: your taking notes sheet should have you identify and organize the information you found while doing your research. now it is time to create an outline to organize the information in the way you will present it in your essay. you may decide not to use all the information you gathered, but be sure you do not leave out anything that you believe is important to support your thesis. your essay should include an introductory paragraph, supporting paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph. each paragraph should cover one main topic and should correspond to a roman numeral (i., ii., iii.) on the outline. the main topics should cover: the person’s accomplishment and contributions, and the effect of his or her accomplishments or contributions on european thought. write a topic sentence for each paragraph of your essay. be sure it tells the reader what the section will be about and how the information relates to your thesis statement. your topic sentence for the introductory paragraph might say something like “johannes gutenberg’s invention changed the way people communicated.” a topic sentence for the second paragraph—the first main topic—might be something like "gutenberg’s printing press changed the way books were produced and the way knowledge was communicated.” decide which pieces of information you will use to support your topic sentences. (these ideas or groups of facts are called subtopics.) subtopics follow capital letters and periods (a., b., and c.) on your outline. add this information beneath your topic sentence. you can further divide subtopics into specific facts. in an outline, specific facts follow arabic numerals and periods (1. 2. 3. 4.) end your outline and essay with a concluding paragraph. write a concluding paragraph that summarizes the main ideas of your essay and restates your thesis statement in some way. write no more than four or five sentences. worth 241 points

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.
