    • 15

    • 150

    • 1,500

    • 15,000

    Correct Answer
    A. 150
    Explanation
    By reducing your food waste, you could save $150 each month. This suggests that the amount of money saved is directly proportional to the reduction in food waste. Therefore, if you reduce your food waste even further, you could potentially save more money each month.

    Most fruit and vegetables will stay fresher for longer if kept in the refrigerator – in the bag they came in.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Fruit and vegetables will stay fresher for longer if kept in the refrigerator because the cold temperature helps to slow down the ripening process and inhibit the growth of bacteria. Additionally, storing them in the bag they came in can help to maintain their moisture and prevent them from drying out. Therefore, it is true that most fruit and vegetables will stay fresher for longer when refrigerated in their original packaging.

    What percentage of clean drinking water is used to grow food that is never eaten? - ProProfs

    What percentage of clean drinking water is used to grow food that is never eaten?

    • 5%

    • 10%

    • 25%

    • 40%

    Correct Answer
    A. 25%
    Explanation
    Approximately 25% of clean drinking water is used to grow food that is never eaten. This means that a significant amount of water resources are being wasted on crops that go to waste, either due to spoilage, inefficiencies in the supply chain, or consumer behavior. This highlights the importance of reducing food waste and finding more sustainable ways to utilize water resources in agriculture.

    Grocery retailers waste far more food than householders do.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement contradicts the common belief that householders waste more food than grocery retailers. Grocery retailers often have to discard food that is close to its expiration date or has cosmetic imperfections, whereas householders can usually consume or repurpose food before it goes bad. Additionally, grocery retailers have larger quantities of food in their inventory, increasing the likelihood of waste. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

    • Up to 1 day

    • Up to 2 days

    • Up to 3 days

    • Up to 4 days

    Correct Answer
    A. Up to 2 days
    Explanation
    Leftovers should be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days to ensure their safety and quality. After this time, the risk of bacterial growth and foodborne illnesses increases. It is important to consume leftovers within this timeframe or properly freeze them for longer storage.
