Question

Which option distinguishes why Sandy might gain weight in the following scenario?

Sandy just joined the debate team at her high school, so she does not have time for home-cooked
dinners with her family. Instead, she grabs fast food three times a week.
A.Her food consumption level is decreasing, but it has more calories.
B.She will get proper servings of vegetables, but they will be high-calorie.
C.She will not get the recommended amount of vegetables this way,
D.Her food consumption level is increasing along with calorie intake,

Answer 1

Answer: Her food consumption level is increasing along with calorie intake.

Explanation: Her food consumption level is increasing along with calorie intake. Food consumption levels are a large contributor to the overweight and obesity problem in the United States, so by trading home-cooked meals for fast food, Sandy is likely to gain weight based on food consumption changes alone.

Answer 2

A. Her food consumption level is decreasing, but it has more calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the situation above, it is clear that Sandy will lower her food consumption because of being busy in her debate team (other than her school subjects). It means, she will have less amount of time to eat. So to speak, she doesn't even have time to eat with her family for dinner at home.

However, her calories will increase because her food choice changes. Fast food have higher calories compared to home-cooked meals because they are oily and rich in fats.
