Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The eruption of teeth indicates readiness to progress from strained to mashed to chopped fine to regular consistency foods.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale: Restricting food choices results in a diet that has limited nutrients. Plain popcorn adds fiber and carbohydrates to the diet, but if eaten with butter also adds calories from fat. Weight loss is best accomplished by following a balanced diet and including regular exercise. Popcorn contains mostly carbohydrates and is not an adequate energy source.
