1. how many cups of vegetables should children eat daily?

a. 1–3 cups b. 4–6 cups c. none d. only starchy vegetables
answer: ______

Explanation:

1. Fruits are rich in vitamins A and C and also contain fiber. Grains are mainly a source of carbohydrates, protein foods are for protein intake, and dairy is for calcium and other nutrients.
2. Whole grains are healthier as they retain more nutrients. Sugary cereals, pastries, and fried noodles are often high in sugar, fat, or have less nutritional value compared to whole grains.
3. Protein is essential for muscle growth. Vision is related to vitamins like vitamin A (not mainly from protein), digestion is related to fiber and enzymes (not the main role of protein), and hydration is from water.
4. According to dietary guidelines, children should have 1 - 3 cups of vegetables daily. 4 - 6 cups is too much for children in most cases, "none" is incorrect as vegetables are important, and only starchy vegetables is not a balanced intake.

1. B. Fruits
2. A. Whole grains
3. B. Muscle growth
4. A. 1 - 3 cups
