Question

read the passage from sugar changed the world. a rock - drawing in spain from about 7000 b.c. shows a man who has climbed a ladder, 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, asia, or africa that wasnt covered with ice could stumble on a hive - and take the risk of some stings. (once away with a load of wax, those in the mountains had to be careful, as so many animals made meals of honey: bears, badgers, and even wolves.) these ancient honey - seekers knew that you didnt have to be lucky. you could hollow out a log near bees, and they would make it their home. you could keep bees - you didnt have to find them. which statement best describes the structure of the passage? it shows the chronological order of when different types of sweeteners were discovered. it uses a problem - and - solution structure to show how people got honey without searching for bees. it shows cause and effect by revealing that people who raided beehives often were stung. it uses a compare - and - contrast structure by comparing the popularity of each type of sweetener.

Explanation:

The passage first describes the danger of getting honey from bees (problem - risk of being stung), then mentions substitutes for honey (solution - syrups made from various sources). So it uses a problem - and - solution structure.

Answer:

It uses a problem - and - solution structure to show how people got honey without searching for bees.
