Question

1. the student wants to emphasize a difference between the two seaweeds. which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal? while researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: • the human tongue contains taste receptors for a rich, savory flavor called umami. • umami is triggered by the compounds in a variety of foods, including pork and soy sauce. • participants in a study tasted a sample of winged kelp, a type of brown seaweed. • they rated its umami intensity as moderate. • the participants tasted a sample of arame, another type of brown seaweed. • they rated its umami intensity as high. • both winged kelp and arame are types of brown seaweed. • winged kelp and arame both contain umami flavor, which can also be triggered by compounds in pork and soy sauce. • participants in a research study found winged kelp, a type of brown seaweed, to have moderate umami intensity, while arames umami was more intense. • some types of brown seaweed, like winged kelp and arame, trigger umami flavor in human taste buds.

Explanation:

The goal is to emphasize the difference between two seaweeds. Option C provides information about the umami intensity ratings of winged kelp and arame in a research study, highlighting the difference. Other options either just state general facts about the seaweeds or umami in general without emphasizing the difference.

Answer:

C. Participants in a research study found winged kelp, a type of brown seaweed, to have moderate umami intensity, while arame's umami was more intense.
