….Arthur von Wiesenberger, who carries the title Water Master, is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland where bottled water is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best. “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water,” he says……
By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water”, von Wiesenberger wants to convey the message that _________.
A. plain tap water is certainly unfit for drinking
B. bottled water is clearly superior to tap water
C. bottled water often appeals more to dogs’ taste
D. dogs can usually detect a fine difference in taste
答案: 选B
