Rationale for change

QID 403502:

Question requires explicit knowledge of what does, and does not constitute reducing sugar in order to identify the appropriate reducing sugar in the question, as well as to eliminate other non-viable answers that include non-reducing sugars in order to select the proper answer, as well as to avoid necessary discriminators that are incorrect.

Text
{{c2::Reducing}} sugars have a/an {{c1::-OH}} group attached to the {{c1::anomeric carbon}}.
Extra
The -OH cannot be attached to any other structures

Sucrose (shown below) is a non-reducing sugar because the anomeric carbon does not have an -OH group attached by itself
