Consumers in North America think that by drinking frozen concentrated orange juice, they are saving energy, because it takes fewer truckloads to transport it than it takes to transport an equivalent amount of not-from-concentrate juice. But they are mistaken, for the amount of energy required to concentrate the juice is far greater than the energy difference in the juices’ transport.Which of the following, if true, would provide the greatest additional support for the editorial’s conclusion?(A) Freezer trucks use substantially more energy per mile driven than do any other types of trucks.(B) Frozen juice can be stored for several years, while not-from-concentrate juice lasts a much shorter time.(C) Oranges grown in Brazil make up an increasing percentage of the fruit used in not-from-concentrate juice production.(D) A serving of not-from-concentrate juice takes up to six times more space than a serving of frozen concentrated juice.(E) Though frozen concentrated juice must be kept at a lower temperature, not-from-concentrate juice is far more sensitive to small temperature fluctuations.
