A) Human beings show the same taste profile as primates. | B) Humans prefers substances that are naturally sweet. |
C) Only a minority of the human population have an indeterminant taste profile. | D) A majority of the human population have an indeterminant taste profile. |
Explanation:
The passage clearly states that several characteristics are shared between humans and primates with respect to their taste profiles. It also states that it is because of evolution. But to infer that both species share the same profile would be incorrect making option a incorrect. The passage is all about the human ability to discern different tastes. One cannot infer about the likability of certain tastes from the given passage making option 2 incorrect. In the first sentence itself the passage talks about how majority of the human population can taste a certain artificial flavour. Thus, it can be inferred that majority of the human population have a determinant taste profile making the opposite as stated in option 3 also correct. This also makes option 4 incorrect.
