Answer 1

The best choice is: "to emphasize how sugar plantations depended on involuntary servitude, and how they shaped the world economy."

Reason: the book's central focus is on sugar’s role in creating and sustaining slavery and coerced labor, driving colonial economies, and reshaping global trade and society — the other options are peripheral or secondary.
