Enjoy your lemonade!Selma followed the process described in the text above. After tasting her lemonade, she decided it did not taste right.

Answer
A
What can I add to this lemonade to try and make it taste better?
B
Should I consider using a different lemonade recipe in the future?
C
Does my mother use the same recipe to make her lemonade?
D
Did I dissolve the sugar before adding the final three ingredients?

Explanation

The recipe says to heat the sugar and water until the sugar dissolves before combining the syrup with the lemon juice and cold water. If that step was missed, the lemonade could taste wrong because undissolved sugar would not be evenly mixed in. So the useful question is whether she dissolved the sugar first.
