Question

consider this claim: soda in a glass bottle tastes better than soda in a plastic bottle. which piece of evidence better supports this claim? evidence a: a taste researcher at a top college notes that exposure to light can alter the taste of soda. \soda in an aluminum can may taste fresher than soda in a clear plastic bottle,\ she explains. evidence b: according to the institute of food technologists, sodas fizz leaks out of a plastic bottle faster than a glass bottle, making it go flat sooner. unlike glass, plastic also tends to transfer an unpleasant taste into soda.

Explanation:

Evidence B directly compares glass and plastic bottles in terms of fizz - retention and taste - transfer, which are relevant to the claim about taste. Evidence A compares aluminum cans and clear plastic bottles and mentions light exposure, not directly comparing glass and plastic bottles as the claim does.

Answer:

Evidence B
