A 1-L soda bottle contains dissolved carbon dioxide gas. Which bottle would have the highest concentration of dissolved gas?

Carbon dioxide stays dissolved best when the bottle is sealed, because the pressure above the liquid keeps the gas in solution. Once opened, the pressure drops and carbon dioxide escapes, so the longer the bottle has been open, the less dissolved gas it contains. Therefore, the sealed bottle has the highest concentration of dissolved gas.
