    • Apple

    • Chocolate

    • Cotton Candy

    Correct Answer
    A. Apple
    Explanation
    The most healthy item among the given options is the apple. Apples are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. They are low in calories and fat, making them a nutritious choice for a snack. On the other hand, French fries, chocolate, and cotton candy are high in calories, unhealthy fats, and added sugars, which can contribute to weight gain and various health issues when consumed in excess. Therefore, the apple is the most healthy option out of the given choices.

    • Yogurt

    • Green Beans

    Correct Answer
    A. Ice Cream
    Explanation
    Ice cream is the least healthy snack item among the given options. Unlike raisins and green beans, which are natural and nutrient-dense, ice cream is high in added sugars, unhealthy fats, and calories. While yogurt can also vary in healthiness depending on the type and flavor, it generally contains beneficial probiotics and protein. However, ice cream lacks these health benefits and is often associated with weight gain and increased risk of chronic diseases when consumed in excess. Therefore, ice cream is the least healthy choice among the given snack items.

    • Oil

    • Candy

    • Vegetables

    • Grain

    Correct Answer
    A. Oil
    Explanation
    Oil is the correct answer because it is a high-calorie and high-fat food group. It is important to consume some oil for essential fatty acids, but it should be consumed in moderation. The other food groups, such as vegetables, grains, and even candy, provide essential nutrients and should be consumed in larger quantities compared to oil.

    • Candy

    • Vegetables

    Correct Answer
    A. Grains
    Explanation
    Grains should be the food group that you get most of your food from because they are a good source of carbohydrates, which provide energy for the body. They also contain fiber, vitamins, and minerals that are essential for overall health. Including a variety of grains in your diet, such as whole grains, can help maintain a balanced and nutritious diet.
