Question

Justin and Kenneth have been best friends for as long as they can remember. Kenneth loves to run, but Justin hates to exercise. Recently, they both went for an annual checkup at the doctor, and they are comparing their blood test results. Based on the information you know, which of the following is most likely true?

A. Justin is going to develop health complications.
B. Kenneth is going to develop health complications.
C. Justin may have unnecessarily high levels of bad cholesterol.
D. Kenneth may have unnecessarily high levels of bad cholesterol.

Answer 1

Most likely, Justin may have high levels of bad cholesterol due to his dislike for exercise, unlike Kenneth who runs and therefore may have a better cholesterol profile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information you know, the most likely scenario is that Justin may have unnecessarily high levels of bad cholesterol. This is because lack of exercise can lead to an increase in 'bad cholesterol' and poses a risk of cardiovascular diseases. Exercise, like running which Kenneth loves, can help manage cholesterol levels, lower high blood pressure, and reduce the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes, all of which are risk factors for heart disease. Considering Justin hates to exercise, his chances of maintaining a healthy cholesterol balance might be lower compared to Kenneth who runs regularly, assuming their diets and other lifestyle factors are similar.

Answer 2

Justin is likely to have high levels of bad cholesterol. He will not develop health complications immediately, but over time this is not unlikely.
