hour of physical activity a day
b. About 10% of youth do not have health care coverage
c. The percent of children born at low birth weight has increased
d. More police officers are killed by firearms than preschoolers

Answer 1

The correct answer is D: More police officers are killed by firearms than preschoolers

Step-by-step explanation:

In normal sense, we see that the number of deaths of preschoolers resulting from firearms is greatly on the increase. We have experienced tragic gun shooting in schools and there is no way that the number of police officers killed by firearms would surpass this. Hence, according to the text, the false statement is to say that more police officers are killed than preschoolers, by firearm.
