Question

Select the best summary of paragraph 4.


A. A new flavor can only be derived from natural sources after research and laboratory testing.

B. When flavorists want to create a new flavor, they must do research, derive the flavors from natural or synthetic sources, and make a formula to produce the flavor.

C. A new flavor requires a flavorist to figure out which chemicals make this flavor naturally. Then, the flavorist must develop these flavors from molecules and compounds.

D. When flavorists want to make a strawberry flavor, they must find out which chemicals from a strawberry contribute to its flavor. Next, they must come up with a natural or man-made formula to synthesize the new flavor.
Which detail should be included in a summary of the passage?


A. A synthetic flavor is man-made and not natural.

B. A flavorist might want to mimic the taste of a ripe strawberry.

C. Flavorists develop flavors and aromas from molecules and compounds.

D. A strawberry-flavored ice pop can have more than three hundred flavor compounds.

Answer 1

1) B — It best captures the main steps: research, deriving components (natural or synthetic), and creating a formula.

2) C — This is a central idea that should be included: flavorists work from molecules and compounds to develop flavors and aromas.
