Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
One of these early Hindu writings, the Atharva Veda,
speaks of an archer's bow made of sugar cane. It tells of
growing a circle of sugar cane as a kind of sweet
protection for a lover, and it includes specific instructions
on how to use sugar cane. To worship and request help
from Durga, the most important goddess, you lie down
and face a three-cornered fire pot. Then, as you speak
the sacred words, you place your offerings in the fire.

Sugar cane was now an ingredient in ceremonies
involving fire. Maybe after many, many offerings a priest
noticed that if the juice of the cane was boiled in the right
way, it crystallized into sweet, dark brown clumps.
Perhaps that transformation itself seemed magical-a
heated liquid turning into something that looked like dark

The three options that support the inference that sugar cane had special significance in the ancient era are:

B. "sugar cane was now an ingredient in ceremonies  involving fire"

D. "Perhaps that transformation itself seemed magical"

E. "sugar cane is called ikshu, which means 'something  that people want"

Explanation:

The whole passage shows the importance sugar cane had in ancient eras, but some lines offer information to support that claim.

First, the line that says sugar cane was used in ceremonies offers good evidence. As we know, rituals and ceremonies are a big part of any culture, and the elements involved in it are of great importance.

Second, the line that speaks of the transformation and how it seemed magical. Of course, we understand how cooking or burning something will turn it into something else, but in ancient times, the transformation of sugar cane into "sweet, dark brown clumps" was regarded as extraordinary.

Finally, the line that talks of the name given to the sugar cane, "ikshu". Its meaning shows how important the sugar cane had become, how valued it was by the people.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
