Question 2

To determine the percentage of an average U.S. worker’s pay used for food, we refer to economic and statistical data. The correct value is 9.4 percent.

We analyze each option: "agribusiness" focuses on the business side of agriculture, "renewable natural resources" is about resources, "farming" is the practice of agriculture, while "agriscience" is the application of scientific principles and new technologies to agriculture. So the correct term is agriscience.

We define each term: "animals" and "plants" are broad categories, "parasites" are organisms that live on another, but "pests" are harmful insects, rodents, or diseases that damage crops, livestock, etc. So the correct term is pests.

Answer:

a. 9.4 percent
