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.
what is the authors’ purpose in this passage?
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 overworked

Read the following passage: he roamed from chamber to chamber with hurried, unequal, and objectless step. the pallor of his countenance had assumed, if possible, a more ghastly hue— but the luminousness of his eye had utterly gone out. the once occasional huskiness of his tone was heard no more; and a tremulous quaver, as if of extreme terror, habitually characterized his utterance. there were times, indeed, when i thought his unceasingly agitated mind was laboring with some oppressive secret, to divulge which he struggled for the necessary courage. which of the above ideas might be considered foreshadowing? he is wandering all over the chamber his skin tone is really pale his voice is quivering the narrator thinks he is laboring with an oppressive secret
