Read the passage and study the image from Sugar Changed the World.

Slaves were given long, sharp machetes, which would be their equipment—but for some also their weapons—until the harvest was done. The cutters worked brutal, seemingly endless shifts during the harvest—for the hungry mills crushed cane from four in the afternoon to ten the next morning, stopping only in the midday heat. Slaves had to make sure there was just enough cane to feed the turning wheels during every one of those eighteen hours. They worked in teams, a man slashing the cane, a woman binding every twelve stalks into a bundle. According to one report from 1689, each pair of workers was expected to cut and bind 4,200 stalks a day. Exactly how much they cut depended on how much their mill could handle—the cutting must never get a day ahead of the grinding, for then the sugar cane would dry up.

Enslaved people working on a sugar cane plantation. Some people are cutting the cane, others bundle the cane, and another group place the bundles in wagons.

In this illustration by William Clark, enslaved people cut sugar cane.

How does the illustration best help the reader understand the text?

The illustration helps the reader recognize how teams cut and bundled sugar cane.
The illustration helps the reader determine why sugar cane had to be cut so quickly.
The illustration helps the reader observe the hot weather on sugar plantations.
The illustration helps the reader identify sugar-harvesting techniques still used today.

Answer:

The illustration best helps the reader understand the text because:

A. The illustration helps the reader recognize how teams cut and bundled sugar cane.

Explanation:

"Sugar Changed the World" is a book by authors Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos first published in 2010. The book dives deeply into the history of people and countries and its connection with sugar. It shows how sugar left a bloody trail behind in order to be produced and exported.

After reading the passage and reading the description of the illustration, we can safely say the illustration's purpose is to show how teams of slaves worked while preparing the sugar cane. One team cuts it, the other bundles it, and another places the bundles in wagons.

Fifty-five delegates representing all thirteen states except Rhode Island attended the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia from May to September 1787. The delegates had been instructed by the Continential Congress to revise the old Articles off Confederation, but most believed that a strong central government was needed. There were differences, however, about what structure the government should take and how much influence large states should have.

Virginia was by far the most populous state, wtih twice as many as people as New York, four times as many as New Jersey and ten times as many as Delaware. The leader of the Virginia delegation, James Madison, had already drawn up a plan for government, which become known as the Large State Plan. It is essence was that congressional representation would be based on population. It provided for two or more national executives. The smaller states feared that under this plan, a few large states would lord over the rest. New Jersey countered with the Small State Plan. It provided for equal representation for all states in a national legistature and for a singer national executive. Angry debate, heightened by a stifling heat wave, lead to deadlock.

A cooling of tempers seemed to come with lower temperatures. The delegates harmmered out an agreement known as the Great Compromise - actually a bundle of shrewd compromises. They decided that Congress would consist of two houses. The larger states were granted representation based on population in the lower house, the House of Representatives. The smaller states were given equal representation in the upper house, the Senate, in which each state would have two senators regardless of population. It was also agreed that there would be a singer executive, the president. This critical compromise broke the logjam, and from then on, success seemed within reach.

Risk can improve your chances of getting good returns. Therefore, having a clear understanding of your own goals and attitude to risk will help you work out how much risk to take.

7 general investment risks

Interest rate risk: when interest rates rise after you lock in your money, meaning you don't earn as much on your money as you would have if you'd invested at the higher rate.

Liquidity risk: there might not be buyers interested in your investment when you want to sell.

Credit risk: the organisation may not be able to repay its debts, and you might lose your money.

Economic risk: the economy may or may not be doing well, which could affect the value of your investment.

Industry risk: risks affecting a particular industry, like shortages of raw materials or changes in consumer preferences.

Currency risk: your investment is affected by changes in the value of the currency.

Inflation risk: your investment doesn't earn enough to keep up with inflation.

How risk affects your investment

Lower risk investments, like cash and bonds, have fewer ups and downs over time so you can expect the investment to perform in a similar way in the future. If you invest in lower risk investments it’s possible your money won’t grow as fast as inflation, which means your money could be worth less when you eventually spend it.

Higher risk investments, like shares and property, have a lot more ups and downs. You’d expect your returns to drop much more frequently, and in larger amounts and it’s hard to predict how they’ll perform. However, if you’re investing for a long period of time (at least 10 years) you should end up with a larger amount than if you’d taken low, or no, risk.

To sum up, investments can fail, regardless of your research. If you only have one investment, there’s a risk you won’t achieve your goal. You can protect yourself against this by making more than one investment, and making more than one type of investment. This is called diversification – not putting all of your eggs in one basket.

Summary:

Risk isn’t bad; it’s a normal part of investing. You can get the opportunity to receive
if you have clear goals and attitude to risks. There are seven main types of risk which are
risk, inflation risk, currency risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and inflation risk while only two types of investment are defined. When you put your money in lower risk investments, your prediction about future returns might be true but your money could be worth less if it doesn’t keep up with the
growth. By contrast, higher risk investments, especially the long-term ones, can bring you much money although their value can change regularly. In conclusion, even when you do a lot of research, your investments still can
. Therefore, making more types of
is essential in order to reach your goal.

The United States has always regarded itself as a beacon of democracy and labeled itself "democracy". However, the reality is that money politics has resulted in a large number of people being excluded from the political process and unable to realize political rights. Money politics deprives the American people of their democratic rights, suppresses the expression of voters' true will, and forms de facto political inequality. Money politics has exposed the false side of American democracy.
