Question

review the claim and the two pieces of evidence. food tastes better to people when it is presented in an attractive way. evidence a: in a study conducted by a leading university, researchers served participants different salads. though all salads had the same ingredients, the creatively displayed salads were ranked as more delicious than the less artistic salads. evidence b: in a study published in a food science journal, subjects were given sugar solutions dyed various shades of red. the researchers found that the intensity of the red color increased the peoples perceptions of the sweetness of the drink. why is evidence a stronger than evidence b? evidence b is anecdotal. it is only based on the personal opinions of a small group of people. evidence b does not directly support the claim. it does not discuss whether food tastes better when it is presented in a more attractive way.

Explanation:

Evidence A directly relates to food presentation and taste perception. Evidence B focuses on color - sweetness perception in sugar solutions, not on food presentation and taste as the claim is about.

Answer:

Evidence B does not directly support the claim. It does not discuss whether food tastes better when it is presented in a more attractive way.
