To find out how many cups of soda are needed to make fruit punch with 4 cups of grape juice, we need to set up a proportion using the ratio of soda to grape juice in the original recipe:

18 cups soda / 6 cups grape juice = x cups soda / 4 cups grape juice

Cross multiply to solve for x:

6x = 4 * 18
6x = 72
x = 72 / 6
x = 12

Therefore, 12 cups of soda are needed to make fruit punch using 4 cups of grape juice.

Therefore, the answer is B. 12 cups
