A dislike for

Explanation:

When we are reading, we may an unusual or unknown word within a text, when this happens, we can use the surrounding information to help comprehend the meaning of that word, that is to say, we can use context clues. In the sentence the phrases "taste of oyster" and "had to hold his nose when he ate them" are all sings that he did not like it, thus "aversion" refers to "a dislike for", because when we dislike something, we try to avoid it with either of our senses (We prefer not to see it, not to touch it or not to smell it).

The other options are incorrect because you can not have a fondness for, nor fear or, the taste of an oyster. And since the action of holding his nose was of disgust, he did not have a weakness nor a desire for oysters.

the purpose of the heading in the passage is to identify who is telling the story.

this excerpt is part of the book sugar changed the world (2010) written by marc aronson and marina budhos. as the book has been written by two people, the heading "marc" indicates that this specific excerpt is being narrated by aronson. in the fragment, marc describes his grandfather's story after hearing it from his cousin. however, there are other excerpts where budhos is the one that tells the story of her family.

aronson and budhos, who are husband and wife in real life, decided to write sugar changed the world when they found out how sugar, which had an important role in slavery and economy, changed their ancestors' lives.
