Question A
According to the fourth paragraph, when taco rice was first created, it was almost impossible to cook tacos in Okinawa because [ ground corn was not readily available ], yet a restaurant owner managed to create taco rice by using Japanese rice.

Question B
In the second paragraph, the author explains [ where and when sushi originated ] and how it has been historically changed, becoming more widespread as technology developed. In the third paragraph, the author suggests that American sushi has its own history and culture although there are some people who [ consider that it is not authentic ].

Question C
Foreign food culture has a positive influence on traditional Japanese food. Ingredients from other countries can make the taste of our traditional food more variable, meaning we can enjoy different flavors based on our food culture. We may be able to find one that suits our tastes better. Moreover, people from abroad with different tastes can find it easier to enjoy our traditional food by changing the taste slightly to suit them. Is it wonderful that more people can enjoy our food culture? Foreign elements certainly make our food more attractive not only to us, but to people from abroad. (100 words)
