Mr. Tyler’s class is having a discussion about whether sugary drinks should be sold at an upcoming school event. One student say
s, "Sugary drinks are not nutritious and can cause many health problems. I think students would enjoy a smoothie bar as a fresh alternative.” Which would be an appropriate follow-up question to ask this student?
“Do you have a favorite recipe for fresh fruit smoothies?”
“What are the health problems caused by sugary drinks?”
“Don’t you think smoothies are a lot more expensive?”
“How do you know so much about nutrition?”
“What are the health problems caused by sugary drinks?”
Explanation:
After the student suggests the alternative of selling smoothies instead of the sugary drinks at the school event, it is only probable that the next question is about the health issues that sugary drinks cause. This is so because with the suggestion of replacing sugary drinks with smoothies, the need to know why it has to be replaced is only necessary. Without knowing the health issues behind the sugary drinks, there can be no motive to why they should be replaced. Also, asking a question directly related to the topic in discussion, is much more reasonable then asking what that student's favorite recipe or the cost of the smoothie or even how he/s he came to know so much about nutrition.
