Explanation:

• Pregunta 5: El texto expositivo no es ficción y suele presentar información objetiva. Reportar resultados de encuestas es un rasgo común de este tipo de texto.
• Pregunta 6: "Do as I Say" y "Do as I Do" son dos enfoques diferentes que los padres pueden adoptar en relación con la alimentación de sus hijos.
• Pregunta 7: El propósito principal de un artículo expositivo suele ser informar. Aquí, informar sobre cómo mejorar la dieta de los hijos.
• Pregunta 8: Sin ver el gráfico, pero basado en la lógica del texto, si se habla de padres preocupados por los hábitos alimentarios de las niñas más que de los niños, podría ser la opción B.
• Pregunta 9: Sin ver el gráfico, pero si se asume que la recomendación es un cierto número de porciones y las niñas consumen menos, restando se obtiene la diferencia.
• Pregunta 10: "Role" significa "papel" o "parte que se juega".
• Pregunta 11: "Control" significa "dirigir" o "manejar".
