Question

why did the author most likely include the graphic in \food labels\?
a to compare foods that are high in calories
b to illustrate that nutrients are measured in grams
c to show that many items are high in total carbohydrates
d to reinforce the required items on a nutrition food label

Explanation:

To determine the author's purpose for including the graphic in "Food Labels", we analyze each option:

• Option a: Comparing high - calorie foods is not the main focus of a typical food label graphic, as food labels aim to show nutritional components, not just calorie - rich foods.
• Option b: While nutrients can be measured in grams, the primary purpose of a food label graphic is not just to illustrate the unit of measurement. It is more about presenting the required nutritional information.
• Option c: Showing that many items are high in total carbohydrates is too specific. A food label graphic usually includes multiple nutritional components and is not focused on just total carbohydrates.
• Option d: Nutrition food labels have required items (like serving size, calories, nutrients etc.). A graphic in "Food Labels" is most likely to reinforce these required items, as it helps in clearly presenting the necessary nutritional information that must be on a food label.

Answer:

d. to reinforce the required items on a nutrition food label
