Question
- A. -OH
- B. -COOH
- C. -NH2
- D. -CHO
Answer
The correct option is -OH.
Explanation
The correct option is "-OH" because it supports the approved learning objective: Explain that aqueous solutions of ethanol are produced when sugar solutions are fermented using yeast. The other options are incorrect or weaker because they are vague, use the wrong Chemistry context, or do not clearly explain the answer for Alcohols.
Common mistake
Confusing Ethanol with Other Alcohols
Students often confuse ethanol with other alcohols and do not specify that it is produced from sugar fermentation using yeast.
Remember to clearly identify ethanol as the specific alcohol produced in fermentation and understand the role of yeast in this process.
