Question

2 which sentence illustrates a barrier preventing a person from making a healthy choice about food or physical activity? aoki is lactose intolerant, so he avoids dairy products. derek is embarrassed that he cant lift very heavy weights, so he goes to the gym when its not busy. latrice doesnt like the taste of vegetables, so she takes a multivitamin. marisol lives in a neighborhood that has no streetlights, so she takes her evening walks with a group of friends.

Explanation:

• Option A: Aoki's lactose intolerance is a medical condition, not a barrier to making a healthy choice. He is making a healthy choice by avoiding dairy products.
• Option B: Derek's embarrassment about not being able to lift heavy weights is a psychological barrier. However, he is still making a healthy choice by going to the gym (even if it's when it's not busy).
• Option C: Latrice's dislike of the taste of vegetables is a personal preference. But taking a multivitamin is an attempt to make a healthy choice (although it's not as good as eating vegetables).
• Option D: Marisol's neighborhood having no streetlights is an environmental barrier. But she is still making a healthy choice by taking evening walks (with a group of friends to stay safe).

Answer:

B. Derek is embarrassed that he can't lift very heavy weights, so he goes to the gym when it's not busy.
