Answer 1

Taste

Explanation:

In the challenge, participants were asked to taste cola from both Coke and Pepsi. They were to give a report on which of the two drinks tasted better.

The taste reported by the participants is dependent on the type of cola taken (either Coke or Pepsi).

Therefore, the taste is the dependent variable while the types of cola are the independent variables.
