Answer :
Final answer:
The question asks for the number of espresso shots in hot drinks of various sizes, but without a standard reference from a specific coffee shop, we cannot confirm any of the provided choices A) 1, 1, 1, 1 B) 2, 2, 2, 2 C) 3, 3, 3, 3 D) 4, 4, 4, 4 as accurate.
Explanation:
The question asks for the number of shots of espresso in various sizes of hot drinks. To tackle this question, we must know the standard number of espresso shots per given cup size. From our reference, a Caffè Americano, which is diluted with hot water and may include steamed milk, typically contains 2 shots of espresso.
With that information, we could infer that for regular drink sizes at many coffee shops, the number of espresso shots typically corresponds to the cup size, but it's not a straightforward one-shot-per-size ratio.
Assuming a coffee shop uses similar standards to the Caffè Americano for their espresso drinks, we'd expect a 12 oz drink to contain one or two shots, a 16 oz drink (like the Grande) to contain two shots, a 20 oz drink to possibly contain an additional shot, and a 24 oz drink (like the Venti) to potentially contain even more. However, the actual number of shots can vary based on the establishment's recipes or a customer's request.
Without additional specific information from a particular coffee shop or standard being applied, it's difficult to determine the number of espresso shots purely based on ounce size. Therefore, none of the answer choices A) 1, 1, 1, 1 B) 2, 2, 2, 2 C) 3, 3, 3, 3 D) 4, 4, 4, 4 provided can be confirmed as accurate without more context.
