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, 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.

Explanation:

Evidence B provides a more comprehensive and scientific - based reason. It mentions that soda's fizz leaks out of a plastic bottle faster than a glass bottle and that plastic can transfer unpleasant tastes to soda, which directly relates to the taste difference. Evidence A only mentions light exposure and a rather general statement about taste freshness without clear connection to the glass - plastic bottle difference.

Answer:

Evidence B
