Chооse the letter оf the sentence thаt best expresses the implied mаin ideа of each of the following paragraphs. 1The eighteenth century saw the introduction of two crops from the New World, maize (Indian corn) and the potato. 2Since maize can be grown only in areas with a great deal of sunny and dry weather, its cultivation spread through Italy and the southeastern part of Europe. 3Whereas an average ear of grain would yield only about four seeds for every one planted, an ear of maize would yield about seventy or eighty. 4That made it a “miracle” crop, filling granaries where they had been almost empty before. 5The potato was an equally miraculous innovation for the European North. 6Its advantages were numerous: potatoes could be grown on the poorest, sandiest, or wettest of lands where nothing else could be raised; they could be fitted into the smallest of patches. 7Raising potatoes even in small patches was profitable because the yield of potatoes was extraordinarily abundant. 8Finally, the potato provided an inexpensive means of improving the human diet. 9It is rich in calories and contains many vitamins and minerals.
