Question

Read the passage and study the image and caption from Sugar Changed the World. The interior of a cotton mill factory in Manchester, England, in the 1800's. Women and girls are operating the machinery. Caption: The first factories were places like this cotton mill in Manchester, England. All over England, in sooty cities such as Manchester and Liverpool, when the factory whistle blew, workers would set down their presses and file out to drink a quick cup of tea sweetened with sugar—usually dipping a piece of bread in the warm drink. Soon a smart manufacturer figured out that this break, and the need for a jolt of sweetness, was an opportunity. English workers were offered sugary cookies and candies—what we call today energy bars—that quick pick-me-up that helped workers to make it through their long shifts. Starting around 1800, sugar became the staple food that allowed the English factories—the most advanced economies in the world—to run. Sugar supplied the energy, the hint of nutrition, the sweet taste to go with the warmth of tea that even the poorest factory worker could look forward to. Sugar was a necessity. How does the image support the text? The image shows the process for manufacturing cotton in early factories. The image shows English factory workers enjoying sugar during their break. The image shows that factory work in the 1800s was labor intensive. The image shows how sugar was produced in cotton factories

Answer 1

The image supports the text by showing the hard work at a cotton mill, which is indirectly sustained by sugar as a source of energy for the workers, as discussed in the passage.

Step-by-step explanation:

The image supports the text by depicting the labor-intensive work of women and girls operating machinery in a cotton mill during the 1800s, which illustrates the industrial setting and the hard work that sugar helped to sustain. While the image directly shows the manufacturing process of cotton, it also implies the critical role sugar played in providing the workers with the necessary energy to handle such labor-intensive jobs. This is in line with the caption and the passage that explain how a quick cup of tea sweetened with sugar during breaks became a staple for the overworked factory workers, with sugary treats being offered as a quick source of energy to help them get through their long shifts.

Answer 2

Im pretty sure the answer is A.

The image shows the process for manufacturing cotton in early factories.
