Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Many foods in a regular diet contribute to the daily fluid intake. A whole medium size apple contains 118 ml water. Other fruits and vegetables can also be a source of dietary water including: baked potatoes, oranges, green beans, and melons. Considering other sources of water can be especially important with the elderly because of a blunted response to poor hydration.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Consuming a healthy diet with an emphasis on plant food is a good strategy. Exercising 150 minutes per week and maintaining a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 are also good approaches.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
