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: 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. evidence b: 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.

Explanation:

La evidencia A se refiere directamente a la comparación entre botellas de plástico y botellas de vidrio, y explica cómo el plástico hace que el refresco pierda el burbujeo más rápido y transfiera un sabor desagradable. La evidencia B compara envases de aluminio y plástico transparente y menciona la exposición a la luz, lo cual no es tan relevante para la comparación entre vidrio y plástico.

Answer:

A. According to the Institute of Food Technologists, soda's 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.
