You hear that a man is suing the local restaurant because he claims the food that he was served contained spices that permanently damaged his taste receptors. Do you think his suit has merit?

c. No. The taste buds get replaced every ten days or so, so he is likely to regain his sense of taste.

Explanation:

Our taste buds are the taste receptor cells that allow us to specify the type of taste that we can detect as sweet, sour, salty, bitter, etc. These taste buds are located at the upper surface of the tongue and detect the type of taste that comes from the foods we consume.

So, even though the man may think his taste buds are permanently damaged, that is not the case. Taste buds can be permanently damaged but only in cases of burning the tongue with hot foods. Since spices can't damage taste buds, his opinion of his taste buds permanently damaged is wrong. Our taste buds get replaced every 10 days or two weeks. So, in his case, he will regain his taste buds after some days.

Therefore, his act of suing the local restaurant does not have any merit. Thus, the correct answer is option c.
