Question

32 part a which idea is introduced in paragraph 1 of the passage? (a) a alice was given very unusual foods to eat as a child. b alices attitudes about cafeteria food changed over time. c alice liked different kinds of food than kids do today. d alices childhood helped shape her attitudes about food.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The question is about the idea in paragraph 1. If the passage's first paragraph focuses on how Alice's childhood experiences (like food exposure) influenced her food attitudes, A is incorrect as it's about unusual foods, not the main idea of the paragraph.
• Option B: The idea of attitude change over time (about cafeteria food) is not likely the first - paragraph idea if the paragraph is about childhood shaping attitudes. So B is out.
• Option C: Comparing her food likes to today's kids is not the typical first - paragraph idea if the focus is on her childhood shaping her attitudes. So C is incorrect.
• Option D: This option states that Alice's childhood helped shape her attitudes about food. This is a common introductory idea in a passage about someone's food - related attitudes, as it sets the foundation for how her later views (maybe about cafeteria food or other food - related topics) came to be.

Answer:

D. Alice's childhood helped shape her attitudes about food.
