Answer to Question 1

C
Dental caries is mostly likely to be caused by snacking on sweet, sticky foods (like candy bars) between meals. When desserts are eaten with meals, the teeth are exposed to carbohydrates for less time each day, so bacteria have less time to ferment the carbohydrate and cause caries. Soft drinks do not stick to the teeth like more sticky sweet foods and so are less likely to contribute to caries. Chewing gum may stimulate saliva production, which washes the teeth so it does not usually contribute to dental caries.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The suggested protein intake is 0.7 to 0.8 g/kg/day. First, convert the weight from pounds to kilograms (200 pounds / 2.2 kg = 90.9 kg); then multiply (91 kg  0.7 g/kg = 64 g) and (91 kg  0.8 g/kg = 73 g)
