A.Soda
B.Neither
C.Both
D.Coffee. The letter E appears twice in her name, as it does in the names of the others drinking coffee.
Hint: It's a 20-word phrase with 80 letters, starting with "C".
Answer
Coffee. The letter E appears twice in her name, as it does in the names of the others drinking coffee.
Why this is the answer
George, Helen, and Steve (the coffee drinkers) each have the letter "e" appearing twice in their names, matching Elizabeth's name, which also contains two "e"s -- so she is drinking coffee too.
