Benedict’s test

Answer 1

To provide scientific evidence to support her argument about the sugar content in peas, the student could use the Benedict’s test.

The Benedict’s test is specifically used to detect the presence of reducing sugars, which includes fructose. The other tests mentioned (iodine test for starch, brown paper bag test for fats, and vinegar test for acidity) are not suitable for measuring sugar content.
