read the passage from sugar changed the world. a stream of pale ash - colored syrup gushed out from the mills, bubbling white with foam. the liquid rushed down a wooden gutter directly into the boiling house, a building of mud - wall furnaces and cauldrons, where the syrup was heated and strained and turned into crystals. a giant copper kettle—often about four feet across and three feet deep—waited for the pale river. this was the first in a series of ever - smaller cauldrons, and beneath each gaped what the brazilians called the “great open mouth”—the huge furnaces that had to be constantly filled with the wood that workers had chopped down and hauled to be ready for this moment. the boiling house was as perilous as the mills, for if a person nodded off for a second, he or she could slip into a bubbling vat. man - made fires burned in the “mouths,” clouds of steam billowed above the kettles, and the heat was so intense. which text evidence best supports the authors claim that sugar processing was a long and difficult process? \a stream of pale ash - colored syrup gushed out from the mills.\ 	hen there was the smell, or rather, the stench of the boiling liquid.\ \as the sugar cane juice boiled, a foul scum rose to the top.\ \over and over again the liquid had to be strained and purified.\

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
The claim is about the process being long and difficult. “Over and over again the liquid had to be strained and purified” shows repetition (long - process aspect) and the need for multiple purification steps (difficulty aspect). The other options like “A stream of pale ash - colored syrup pushed out from the mills” just describe the start of the process, “Then there was the smell, or rather, the stench of the boiling liquid” describes a sensory aspect, and “As the [sugar cane] juice boiled, a foul scum rose to the top” describes a single step in the boiling process. Only the option about straining and purifying multiple times emphasizes the length and difficulty through repetition and multiple steps.
# Answer:
“Over and over again the liquid had to be strained and purified”
