Question

1. read the sentence. overcooked tomato sauce will turn bitter, so keep the heat low and test the flavor frequently. which statement is a valid inference based on the information in the sentence? ○ cooking requires skill as well as a keen sense of taste. ○ tomato sauce is a nutritious part of any dinner. ○ some tomatoes make better pasta sauce than others. ○ tomato sauce should be eaten for dinner rather than lunch.

Explanation:

The original sentence notes overcooked tomato sauce turns bitter, so low heat and frequent flavor testing are needed. This implies cooking (specifically making tomato sauce) needs skill (controlling heat) and taste awareness (testing flavor), making this the only valid inference. The other options introduce unstated claims about nutrition, tomato quality, or meal timing that are not supported by the given sentence.

Answer:

Cooking requires skill as well as a keen sense of taste.
