Question

select the correct answer.
fred uses a mallet to pound meat. however, this method has a disadvantage. what is it?
a. tender meat
b. tasteless meat
c. broken muscle fibers
d. tough muscles

Explanation:

Pounding meat with a mallet is a method to tenderize it (so A and D are incorrect as tender meat is a goal, not a disadvantage, and tough muscles are not a result here). Tasteless meat (B) isn't directly caused by pounding. Pounding can break muscle fibers, which is a disadvantage of this method, so C is correct.

Answer:

C. broken muscle fibers
