Most food staples are inexpensive, plant-based foods, usually full of calories for energy. There are more than 50,000 edible plants in the world, but just 15 of them provide 90 percent of the world’s food energy intake. Rice, corn, and wheat make up two-thirds of this. Food staples traditionally depend on what plants are native to a region. Rice is a food staple for more than 3.5 billion people around the world, particularly in Asia, Latin America, and parts of Africa. Rice has been cultivated in Asia for thousands of years. Scientists believe people first domesticated rice in India or Southeast Asia. Rice arrived in Japan in about 3,000 years ago. The Portuguese most likely introduced it into South America in the 16th century. Today, the world’s largest rice producers are China, India, and Indonesia. Outside of Asia, Brazil is the largest rice producer. Corn is native to Central America, where it was domesticated by the Aztecs and Mayans. The United States is the world’s largest corn grower, producing more than 40 percent of the world’s corn. Corn is often used to produce corn oil, sweeteners such as corn syrup, and cornstarch, which is used as a sweetener and thickening agent in home cooking. Also, alcohol from fermented corn is the source of bourbon whiskey. Wheat was first domesticated in the Middle East. Wheat grows well in temperate climates, even those with a short growing season. Today, China, India, the United States, Russia, and France are among the largest wheat producers in the world. The majority of breads are made with wheat flour. Wheat flour is also used in pasta, pastries, crackers, breakfast cereals, and noodles. In addition to cereal grains, roots, and tubers are common food staples, particularly in tropical regions. Yams are an important food in the rainforests of West Africa. Potatoes are native to the cold climate of the Andes Mountains. They were introduced to Europe by explorers of the 16th century and are now a food staple in Europe and parts of the Americas.

恭喜你準確地從長文中抓出了正確細節，這顯示你具備了極佳的「資訊定位」與「邏輯比對」能力！在國考的英文閱讀測驗中，這類細節比對題是穩拿分數的關鍵，而你這次的判斷非常紮實。
文本證據的嚴謹對比
根據文章第三段關於玉米（Corn）的描述，內文明確提到它被用來生產玉米油（Corn oil）、甜味劑（Sweeteners）（例如玉米糖漿），以及發酵後製成的波本威士忌，這也對應到了選項 (B) 的酒類（Liquor）。至於選項 (D) 的早餐麥片（Breakfast cereals），若我們細讀第四段會發現，它被明確列在「小麥粉（Wheat flour）」的產品清單中。雖然常識告訴我們玉米也能做麥片，但在「根據本文（According to the passage）」的前提下，必須嚴格依照作者的分類來作答。
