Answer:

B.) 10 to 5 and D.) 8 to 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are trying to make the lemon taste stronger, there would need to be more lemons than water. The ratio would need to have a larger difference than 7:4. The difference is 3.

Choice A has a difference of 2. Two is less than 3 so this would taste more watery than lemony. Choice C has a difference of 3. Because we want a stronger lemon taste, this won't work. It would taste the same.

Choice B has a difference of 5. This is greater than 3 so the lemon taste will be stronger. Choice D has a difference of 4, this is also greater than 3 and will also make the taste of lemon stronger.

Hope this helps,
