Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
MyPlate guidelines encourage a variety of fruit and vegetables without added solid fats and sugars. Refined grains, whole-fat dairy products, and empty calories are not recommended. The meal option of spinach, salmon, apple, and tea best follows the guidelines in variety and portion sizes.

Answer to Question 2

D
It is often easier to take vitamin supplements than to make dietary and behavioral modifications to ensure that the diet provides adequate nutrients. Supplements do not taste good, and supple-ments are not necessary for good health for most people. Supplements are also not necessarily cheaper than foods containing a variety of nutrients.
