My conclusion is that starch is a polysaccharides not a glucose, so it would be hard for Benedict solution to break down the cluster of glucose in starch.

I am not sure about this, so I need to know if I was right or wrong. Please explain why.

Benedict's reagent detects reducing ends of sugars.

Starch is a macromolecule that will only have a few reducing ends at the end of chains, so there is little to detect.
