Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following interview.

W: “Flinty, insouciant, aggressive.” The fine, sometimes funny, language of wine-tasting. “Saucy, a bit piquant.” Last weekend in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, words like these were spoken about municipal tap water. At the annual Toast to the Tap, water drawn straight from the faucets of thirty-one municipalities competed to see which was best. One criterion, an absence of taste(Question 13). On the line to discuss the Zen of water tasting, the water master for Toast to the Tap, Arthur Von (Question 11) tell us who the winner was this year; we’re dying to know.

M: Well, actually, this year was amazing because this is the sixth annual event, and every year there’s been different municipal waters that have been submitted. One that has been consistently successful has been Atlantic City, and it did again this year, (Question 12) it came in first place. It’s the third time it’s come in first place.

W: What explains that?

M: I spoke to the engineer out there who works on the water treatment plant, and he said that he runs the water through a very large amount of activated carbon filters, which remove almost all chlorine and other chemical tastes from the water.

W: How did the judges describe the Atlantic City water? Did they say, “Nothing, nothing, nothing; here’s the winner”?

M: Actually, they went a little bit better than that. They said, you know, “This is very decent water. I could use this as my daily drinking water.”

W: Wow.
