Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
According to the National Academy of Sciences, a moderate intensity physical activity would include walking at a rate of 4 to 5 miles/hour four to seven times weekly. Walking 2 miles daily in 1 hour four times weekly is below a moderate level of activity. Jogging 4 miles in 20 minutes three times weekly and jogging 2 miles in 20 minutes twice weekly is beyond a moderate level of activity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) table lists the average daily dietary intake level that is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of almost all (97 to 98) healthy individuals in a group. RDAs are goals in meeting nutritional needs. The UL is the highest level of daily nutrient intake that is likely to pose no risk of adverse health effects to almost all individuals in the general population. The EAR is a nutrient intake value that is estimated to meet the requirement of half of the healthy individuals in a group. The AI is a value based on observed or experimentally determined approximations of nutrient intake by a group of healthy people. The AI is used when the RDA cannot be determined.
