Question

Read the passage.

Candy bars were invented in 1847. The first chocolate bar was made in Britain by Joseph Fry and his son. They made a paste of cocoa powder and sugar, then pressed it into a rectangular-shaped bar. Two years later, John Cadbury introduced his own brand of chocolate bar. Fry and Cadbury became a team and became great chocolate makers.
