1. 다음 글의 목적으로 알맞은 것을 고르시오.
Most of us would associate the carrot with the color orange if asked. Interestingly, our ancestors would not have. This is because orange carrots did not exist until late in the 16th century. Back then, carrots were supposed to be purple, even though they occasionally lacked pigment due to mutations and turned out yellow or white instead. Innovative Dutch farmers decided to start experimenting with the paler versions of the root vegetable they were familiar with and crossed them with the purple ones. They developed many strains and shades of carrots over time, but the most popular, and arguably the tastiest ones, were the fleshy orange versions we enjoy today.
① To clarify how to cross different strains of carrots
② To describe why orange carrots became popular
③ To explain that carrots have not always been orange
④ To compare orange carrots to carrots of other colors
