According to the manual, how much wine contains approximately the same amount of alcohol as a 12-ounce can of beer?
-
A.
12 oz
-
B.
16 oz
-
C.
5 oz Correct
-
D.
8 oz
The answer is "5 oz"
The manual sets one drink at a 12-ounce beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of liquor. Answer A matches the wine container size to the beer can rather than to the alcohol content the manual is actually comparing.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 12 oz
12 ounces of wine is more than two standard-drink equivalents, not one. This answer matches the container size to the beer can rather than the alcohol content the manual is comparing.
B. 16 oz
16 ounces is well above the manual's stated equivalence. This answer reads a large restaurant pour as a single drink and skips past the manual's own definition.
D. 8 oz
8 ounces exceeds the wine equivalence the manual sets. This answer guesses toward a typical pour without checking the specific figure that anchors the BAC table.
