Answer 2

D) One standard drink, which contains .6 ounces (14 grams) of alcohol, contains around 97 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of calories per gram of alcohol = 7 cal

i.e. Alcohol = 7 cal/g

A standard drink contains 0.6 ounces i,e. 14 grams of alcohol.

Therefore, the calories corresponding to that present in a standard alcoholic beverage would be:

`= (14\ g * 7\ cal)/(1\ g) = 98\ cal`
