Whenever those states which have been acquired as stated have been accustomed to live under their own laws and in freedom, there are three courses for those who wish to hold them: the first is to ruin them, the next is to reside there in person, the third is to permit them to live under their own laws, drawing a tribute, and establishing within it an oligarchy which will keep it friendly to you. Because such a government, being created by the prince, knows that it cannot stand without his friendship and interest, and does its utmost to support him; and therefore he who would keep a city accustomed to freedom will hold it more easily by the means of its own citizens than in any other way.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

Slavery was abolished in the British Empire in 1833, thirty years before the Emancipation Proclamation in the United States. But even after they freed their slaves, the sugar plantation owners were desperate to find cheap labor to cut cane and process sugar. So the British owners looked to another part of the empire—India—and recruited thousands of men and women, who were given five-year contracts and a passage back. For a person from India, going overseas was not a simple matter. Once you crossed the "black water" of the surrounding oceans, you were said to have "gone to tapu." You no longer had any place in your village and could not be accepted back until you went through a special ceremony. Leaving India truly meant giving up your home; yet for some—for my family—that was their only chance for a better life.

How do the details in this passage support the author’s purpose?

The details about leaving India persuade readers that it was a good idea for people to leave.
The details about the “black water” entertain readers with stories of traveling overseas.
The details about families leaving for a better life inform readers about the status of the author’s family.
The details about hiring people from India persuade readers that people who crossed the seas were hard workers.

“Comrades!” he cried. “You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organization of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for YOUR sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples. Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our duty? Jones would come back! Yes, Jones would come back!”

–Animal Farm,

George Orwell

When Dorothy stood in the doorway and looked around, she could see nothing but the great gray prairie on every side. Not a tree nor
house broke the broad sweep of flat country that reached to the edge of the sky in all directions. The sun had baked the plowed land into a gray
mass, with little cracks running through it. Even the grass was not green, for the sun had burned the tops of the long blades until they were the
same gray color to be seen everywhere. Once the house had been painted, but the sun blistered the paint and the rains washed it away, and now
the house was as dull and gray as everything else.
