Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

The correct placement of the measuring tape is indicated by letter B. The other placements are not appropriate for measuring the circumference of the waist.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

The recommended portion size for animal proteins is 3 ounces, which can be correctly estimated by comparing to the size of a deck of cards. The size of a balled fist may vary, so this is not a good indicator. Five ounces exceeds the recommend amount for protein intake during a single serving.
