Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Preservation with the use of honey or sugar was well known to the earliest cultures. Fruits kept in honey were commonplace. In ancient Greece quince was mixed with honey, dried somewhat and packed tightly into jars. The Romans improved on the method by cooking the quince and honey producing a solid texture.

Detailed explanation-2: -Before the war started, a lot of our food was brought by sea from other countries. Without these supplies there wouldn’t be enough food to go around. As the war went on, Germany decided if they saw a ship supplying food to Britain their warships or submarines would sink it.

Detailed explanation-3: -To survive, our early ancestors had to find a way to make that food last through the cold months. In frozen climates, they froze meat on the ice; in tropical climates, they dried foods in the sun. These early methods of food preservation enabled ancient man to put down roots and form communities.
