Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
A serving of this soup represents 46 of the total amount of sodium that client should consume during an entire day; this is a high-sodium food. This information does not compare this soup to alternative brands and it does not indicate that 54 of the volume of the soup consists of nutrients other than sodium.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
MyPlate recommends the Americans make half of their plate fruits and vegetables. Dairy, proteins, and unsaturated fats are important components of a healthy diet but they should be consumed in smaller quantities than vegetables.
