Sorry that is Incorrect
The correct answer is: they are anti-acids to help an excess of acid in the stomach. All of the other answer choices are incorrect. Here is why:
- They are anti-acids to help an excess of acid in the stomach.--> This is correct! Because the bases are placed into the stomach to neutralize the excess acid.
- They break down foods in our stomachs.--> Acids are used to break down foods in our stomachs, not bases.
- They used to make dishes have a sour taste.--> Acids have a sour taste, not bases.
- They are used to neutralize other bases. --> Acids neutralize bases not bases neutralizing other bases. When one adds more of a base, the solution might become more basic.
