Question

which factor is most likely to prevent someone from maintaining a healthy weight?
○ feeling intimidated by size and cost of the gym
○ prioritizing exercise over other activities
○ living near a large number of parks accessible for exercising
○ having more accessibility to places with nutritious food

Explanation:

To determine the factor preventing healthy weight maintenance, we analyze each option:

• "Feeling intimidated by size and cost of the gym": Gym intimidation can discourage exercise, a key part of weight management.
• "Prioritizing exercise over other activities": This supports healthy weight (more exercise).
• "Living near parks for exercising": Increases exercise access, aids weight maintenance.
• "More access to nutritious food": Supports healthy eating, aids weight maintenance.

So the first option is the most likely barrier.

Answer:

A. feeling intimidated by size and cost of the gym
