3. the ____ is used to produce the spice nutmeg

Key words: produce, spice nutmeg

Although nutmeg is mentioned in both paragraph 1 and 2, paragraph 2 is focused on the

historical application of the nutmeg, not the different parts of the plant, so we would once

again pay attention to paragraph 1. The spice nutmeg is brought up in the last sentence:

“These are the sources of the two spices nutmeg and mace, the former being produced

from the dried seed and the latter from the aril.” As “the former” refers to the subject that

was mentioned first, which, in this case, is the “spice nutmeg”, it can be inferred that the

spice nutmeg is produced from the dried seed, revealing the answer to be the “seed”.

→ Answer: seed
