Question

The most exemplary formulae for clam chowder all have onions and a bay leaf.

The onions bring sharpness and spice to the clams' blandness and support to remove their slimy consistency. The bay leaf additions

the onion's intense taste.

What is the main theme of the Passage?

• A. Onions were earlier thought to be contaminated.
• B. Bay leaves are vital in many soups.
• C. Clam chowder is nutritional.
• D. Onions and bay leaves go pleasingly with clams.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Onions and bay leaves go pleasingly with clams.

The extract talks about onions and bay leave in

clam chowder—not regarding soups in all-around, and therefore choice B is inaccurate. There is no mention of the nutrition or poison, nor does the passage talk over-cooked clams.
