MGMAT Test

The reason that certain spicy foods, such as the Habanero pepper, makes some people sweat is because they contain a chemical that stimulates the same nerve endings in the mouth as does a rise in temperature; this stimulation sometimes results in the activation of certain biological cooling mechanisms, one of which is perspiration

Can someone tell me the subject of this sentence? Is the pronoun "they" correctly refer to the antecedent or is it ambiguous?

food is a count and noncount noun!

in this question, i think the only problem is the verb "makes". it should be in plural form "made" b/c it agrees with the subject "foods". "they" replaces to "foods".
