B)large concentration of taste buds in the center of your tongue
C)suffered damage to your papillae
D)more taste buds then your date
IS A CORRECT ANSWER???
Right.
noooooo
No, A is not a correct answer. Sensitivity to tastes of bitter and salty, or having an elevated taste for sweet and sour, would not explain why the broccoli tastes bitter to you but not to your date.
The correct answer is D) you have more taste buds than your date. Different individuals have different numbers of taste buds, and the number of taste buds can vary widely from person to person. The taste buds on your tongue are responsible for detecting different flavors. If you have more taste buds, you are likely to taste flavors more intensely than someone with fewer taste buds.
In this scenario, since the broccoli tastes bitter to you but not to your date, it suggests that you may have more taste buds on your tongue, making you more sensitive to the bitter taste.
