Question 1

• Question text: "The most suitable method of cooking food for an invalid is"
• Options:
• A. frying.
• B. grilling.
• C. steaming.
• D. stewing.
• Analysis: Invalids (people who are sick, weak, or disabled) require easily digestible, nutritious, and non-greasy food. Cooking Techniques such as steaming preserve nutrients without adding heavy fats, making steamed food gentle on the digestive system compared to frying, grilling, or stewing. Thus, steaming is the most suitable method.
