question 29
3 even though this experience starts with heat, the spicy flavor that young people love is actually designed by science. this experience includes flavor layering, food texture, and a combination of sweet and spicy. this pairing is commonly known as “swicy.” when sugar balances heat, it’s like a rollercoaster for the taste buds. this makes consumers just want more! in addition, flavor layering means that there are multiple flavors in one snack: heat, salt, fat, and spice. the combination keeps snackers coming back for more. food texture is also a major factor in snack appeal. just think about a time when you were crunching on a spicy snack that you enjoyed. do you remember
what does the word fusion mean in paragraph 3?
select one:
a. combination
b. accident
c. connection
d. division

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "fusion" in the context, we analyze the surrounding text. The paragraph mentions "flavor layering means that there are multiple flavors in one snack: heat, salt, fat, and spice" and "a combination of sweet and spicy" (swicy). "Fusion" here relates to combining multiple elements (flavors) into one. Among the options, "combination" (A) aligns with this idea of merging or combining flavors. "Accident" (B) is incorrect as there's no indication of randomness. "Connection" (C) is too vague, and "division" (D) is the opposite of combining.

Answer:

A. combination
