Sparkling beverages are described as a bubbly alternative to sugary soda. Which category does this refer to?

• A. Still Water
• B. Sparkling Beverages
• C. Tea
• D. Juice

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is carbonation. A drink described as bubbly and offered as an alternative to sugary soda is about having dissolved carbon dioxide that creates fizz. That places it in the Sparkling Beverages category, which covers drinks with bubbles and a fizzy feel, including carbonated waters and other fizzy drinks.

Still water has no bubbles, so it isn’t bubbly. Tea isn’t inherently carbonated either, unless you encounter a specialty fizzy version, but by default it’s not a sparkling beverage. Juice is typically non-carbonated, though there are sparkling juice varieties, the usual category for a bubbly option relative to soda is Sparkling Beverages.
