Question

read the passage from sugar changed the world. the diamond and the house: two family treasures, two parts of the story of sugar. we realized that our two family stories—marina’s great-grandparents, brought to guyana to replace slaves, and marc’s aunt’s grandfather, helping to refine an alternative to that same sugar—were just the beginning of a much larger story about a remarkable substance. it is a story made of the movement of millions of people, of fortunes made and lost, of brutality and delight—all because of tiny crystals stirred into our coffee, twirled on top of a cake. sugar, we began to see, changed the world. what is the purpose of this passage? to explain who marina and marc are to link the authors’ families to sugar to explore the history of guyana to show what sugar is used for

Explanation:

The passage connects the authors' family stories (Marina's great - grandparents and Marc's aunt's grandfather) to the story of sugar. It shows how their family histories are linked to sugar's history, including aspects like slavery, fortune, and the impact of sugar on the world. The other options are incorrect: the passage isn't mainly about explaining who Marina and Marc are; it's not just exploring Guyana's history; and it's not about showing sugar's uses.

Answer:

to link the authors’ families to sugar
