Answer: Negative

Explanation:

Any kind of sugar that develops ketone or aldehyde groups in the presence of alkaline solution of the reducing sugar. The kind of reducing sugars includes fructose, lactose, glucose, and maltose but sucrose is not a reducing in nature. Also, a reducing sugar reduces certain kind of chemicals in the oxidation reaction.

The aspartame is an artificial sweetener. It consists of amino acids L-phenylalanine and L-aspartic acid. The sugar is absent in this composition. Since, there is no reducing group available in this dipeptide molecule thus aspartame gives negative result for the reducing sugar test. Aspartame does not form ketone and aldehyde groups in presence of alkaline solution.  

Thus the sample with pure aspartame test will give negative result for reducing sugars.

Image 5 -

Runner stems are those that grow horizontally, therefore the fourth image with the long horizontal stems.

Rhizome stems are underground stems that can form roots or shoots through their nodes. Therefore, the third image with white background (the one with 2 drawn plants).

Tuber stems are large underground (mostly) structures used as storages for the plant. Therefore, this corresponds to the first image (the one with the white background.

Bulb stems are short and "bulby" stems, whith thick, leaves. Therefore, the second image (the one with the grass background).

Hope it helped,
