Tells you that your nose is more important than your tongue C. Explains why we have noses D. Emphasizes that smell plays an important role in taste

Answer 1

Answer: D. Emphasizes that smell plays an important role in taste

Explanation: On page 23 where Tarshis writes, "It's because your tongue is pretty much lost without your nose." pretty much emphasizes the role that smell plays in taste. The senses of taste and smell are closely linked and as such, the flavors in food can be tasted because of a combination of the ability to smell and taste. Foods tend to taste bland with little or no flavor when the ability to smell is lost which is the direct result of the complex interplay between aroma and taste that helps the brain in interpreting stimuli.
