Based on the excerpt: "Americans did not invent 'fast food,' any more than they invented cars or television; they were just the first to refine it into an art, and spread the art. Before Ronald McDonald was even born, the British were into hot fast food, in the form of fish 'n' chips. Precursors of today’s drive-thru, sit-down, or carry-out burger restaurants and other fast-food outlets, British fish 'n' chip shops had for many years been offering customers a ready meal to eat in the street. In the older days, people ate fish 'n' chips wrapped in old newspaper, and used their fingers to eat them with. Other forms of fast food were common all over the world too; the 'packed lunch,' some bread and something to eat with it, was part of the daily routine of millions of industrial and agricultural workers. American-style 'fast food' took existing models, and refined them, to create a new style of eating adapted to the high-speed mobile lifestyles of the modern age. As its name implies, a 'Hamburger' was originally a German dish that originated in Hamburg (and has nothing to do with ham, in spite of modern derivatives such as chicken-burger and beefburger). Its repackaging as the most popular type of fast food was, however, an American achievement, as America was the first nation in the world to master modern methods of large-scale food production, distribution, and conservation (notably deep freezing). Ronald McDonald’s Golden Arches have sprung up in and around virtually every big town and city in Europe, and across much of the rest of the world too; and even such typically 'American' styles of fast food, such as Tex-Mex, are following in the international traces of the hamburger franchises, thanks to television and the popularity of American youth culture." According to the excerpt, Americans were the first to ___
turn fast food into a craft
spread it among colleagues
invent fast food
design unhealthy food
Based on the excerpt: "Americans did not invent 'fast food,' ... people ate fish 'n' chips wrapped in old newspaper, and used their fingers to eat them with." Which of the options is a synonym for the word "precursors" in the context of this text?

backward
