Question

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. The Hindu writings tell us of a religion in which fire was extremely important. People believed that the gods gave fire to human beings. Yet fire was also a way for humans to reach the gods. By placing offerings in a special fire, a priest could turn them into smoke and send them on to the gods.

Hindu people must have valued the five substances they used as sacrifices.

Step-by-step explanation:

The book "Sugar Changed the World" by Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos tells the history of sugar and other spices and how they came to be the most important part of our daily lives. The book also delves into the historical significance of these spices and how they also are connected to many issues of the past, like slavery and slavery.

In the given passage from the book, the authors reveal how the Hindus would use fire to please and give offerings to their gods. And for that particular offering, they chose five items- "milk, cheese, butter, honey, and sugar cane." The inclusion of sugarcane is suggestive of how important it was in the past, and which it still is. Moreover, the passage shows how valuable the five items may have been for the Hindus to be used in the sacrifices to the gods.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth/last option.
