Question

which statement best describes a reason for developing unhealthy eating habits?
○ all family members exercise three days a week.
○ the costs associated with purchasing fruit are low.
○ the nearest grocery store is more than 50 miles away.
○ low - cost healthcare is located close to home.

Explanation:

To determine the reason for unhealthy eating habits, we analyze each option:

• "All family members exercise three days a week" promotes healthy habits, not unhealthy eating.
• "The costs associated with purchasing fruit are low" would encourage buying healthy food, not unhealthy eating.
• "The nearest grocery store is more than 50 miles away" makes accessing fresh, healthy food difficult, likely leading to unhealthy eating due to lack of convenient access to nutritious options.
• "Low - cost healthcare is located close to home" is related to healthcare access, not directly to eating habits.

Answer:

C. The nearest grocery store is more than 50 miles away.
