Identify the core problem and the new information

The presentation topic is "how people drink too much soda and other sugary drinks" (the problem).
The new information is "how some cities and states are taxing sugary beverages at a higher rate to encourage people to make healthier choices."

A tax on sugary beverages is an active policy measure implemented by governments to address the issue of excessive sugary drink consumption.
This policy acts directly as a method or strategy to resolve the identified issue, making it a solution.

Match with the given multiple-choice options

• "the overview of the situation" describes the background/problem itself.
• "a solution to the problem" directly matches the policy action of taxing the beverages to encourage healthier choices.
• "an effect of the solution" would describe the outcome of the tax (e.g., decreased consumption rates after the tax).
• "an effect of the problem" would describe health issues like obesity or diabetes resulting from drinking too much soda.
