Question

4 if someone described the smell of a piece of cheese as rancid, how would you expect the cheese to smell?

• pleasant and appetizing
• strong and rotten
• soft and creamy
• stale and dry

5 which of the following situations would most likely result in something becoming rancid?

• exposing milk to direct sunlight for several hours
• leaving bread in a sealed container
• storing fruit in the refrigerator
• using fresh herbs in cooking

Explanation:

For question 4: The term "rancid" refers to a strong, unpleasant, spoiled smell from fats/oils breaking down, matching "strong and rotten". Other options describe positive or non-smell traits.
For question 5: Rancidity occurs when fats oxidize; sunlight accelerates this in milk's fats. Sealed bread, refrigerated fruit, and fresh herbs do not trigger fat oxidation leading to rancidity.

Answer:

1. B. Strong and rotten
2. A. Exposing milk to direct sunlight for several hours
