Answer:
In the first stage of the experiment where Min is focusing only on the physical properties of water and lemonade, he would not use any comparison point that relates to the taste or flavor of the two liquids. Taste and flavor are not physical properties and would require a different set of tests and observations to determine. Therefore, in the first stage of the experiment, Min would focus on physical properties such as color, density, boiling point, freezing point, viscosity, surface tension, and any other physical property that can be observed or measured without consuming the liquids or using taste buds.
