Read the excerpt from Sugar Changed the World, then answer the question that follows.
From the 1750s on sugar transformed the way Europeans ate. Chefs who served the wealthy began to divide meals up. Where sugar had previously been either used as a decoration...or as a spice to flavor all courses, now it was removed from recipes for meat, fish and vegetables and given its own place—desserts. Desserts as the extremely sweet end to the meal was invented because so much sugar was available. But the wealthy were not the only ones whose meals were changing. Sugar became a food, a necessity, and the foundation of the diet for England's poorest workers.
How is this section of the text organized?
A The authors begin with a claim, provide evidence to support the claim, and then expand the claim to include not just the wealthy but the poor as well.
B The authors begin with a question then provide an answer to the question, including evidence and reasoning.
D The authors begin with a summary statement and then provide chronological details in support of this statement.
