Explanation:

First Question: What is the main benefit of eating whole grains?

• Option a: Cost is not a main nutritional benefit of whole grains.
• Option b: Whole grains are rich in complex carbohydrates and fiber, which are digested slowly, providing long - lasting energy. This is a key nutritional benefit.
• Option c: Ease of cooking is not a primary benefit related to the nutritional value of whole grains.
• Option d: Whole grains are not typically sugary; refined grains or added sugars are more associated with high sugar content.

• Option a: Sugary drinks are generally widely available, so "hard to find" is incorrect.
• Option b: Sugary drinks are high in sugar (calories) but lack essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, or fiber, so they provide empty calories. This is a major reason to avoid them.
• Option c: Sugary drinks are ready - to - consume and not difficult to prepare.
• Option d: Sugary drinks do not make you feel full longer; in fact, they can lead to increased hunger due to blood sugar spikes and crashes.
