Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Iodine supports increased thyroid activity, and use of iodized table salt ensures availability.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
6 kg x 108 kcal/kg/day = 648 kcal/day; 648 kcal/day  20 kcal/oz = 32.4 oz/day; 32.4 oz/day  24 hr/day = 1.35 oz/hr; 1.35 oz/hr x 4 hours = 5.4 ounces every 4 hours.
