Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, or (10 points).Before the mid­nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only inseason Drying, smoking and salting could preserve meat for short time, but the availability offresh meat, like that of fresh milk, was very limited; there was no way to prevent spoilage. Butin 1810, French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking­and­sealing process ofcanning. And in the 1850’s an American named Gail Borden developed means of condensingand preserving milk. Canned goods and condensed milk became more common during the1860’s, but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand. By 1880, however,Doc24.vninventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines that mass­produced cans fromtinplate. Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the year.Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary theirdaily diets. Growing urban population created demand that encouraged fruit and vegetablefarmers to raise more produce. Railroad refrigerator cars enabled growers and meat packers toship perishables great distances and to preserve them for longer periods. Thus, by the 1890’s,northern city dwellers could enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes,previously available for month at most, for up to six months of the year. In addition, increaseduse of iceboxes enabled families to store perishables. As easy means of producing icecommercially had been invented in the 1870’s, and by 1900 the nation had more than twothousand commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries. The icebox became afixture in most homes and remained so until the mechanized refrigerator replaced it in the1920’s and 1930’s.Almost everyone now had more diversified diet. Some people continued to eat mainlyfoods that were heavily in starches or carbohydrates, and not everyone could afford meat.Nevertheless many families could take advantage of previously unavailable fruits, vegetables,and dairy products to achieve more varied fare.66.
