Answer
49: **c: tribes** (Mongolian tribes, not tents, friends, or birds, were led by Genghis Khan)50: **d: shredded** (The text indicates the meat was made easier to digest, shredding would accomplish this. They didn't buy, catch, or fight the beef.)51: **a: cows** (Beef comes from cows. The options of stores, restaurants, and barns are illogical.)52: **b: to** ( "...easier *to* digest" is grammatically correct.)53: **d: by** (The Russians were invaded *by* the Mongolians.)54: **b: eating** (The passage discusses consuming ground meat. Cutting, drinking, or tasting doesn't fit the context.)55: **d: German** (The text specifically mentions the German city of Hamburg later.)56: **a: discovered** (Ships *discovered* the delicacy. They didn't catch, dread, or dream it.)57: **b: ground** (The passage consistently refers to ground meat.)58: **b: Hearty** (While "grand" is possible, "hearty" is a more common descriptor for steak, especially in this historical context.)59: **b: city** (Hamburg is a city.)60: **a: brought** (Immigrants *brought* something to America. Throwing or showing a steak doesn't make sense, and "automobile" is completely out of context.)
