Question

(03.01 lc)
why are children in low income neighborhoods more likely to be less physically active than children in other communities? (3 points)

○ their homes are not close to parks and playgrounds
○ they are allowed to skip physical education classes at school
○ their communities are not interested in public health
○ their parents do not allow them to participate on sports teams

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Low - income neighborhoods often have less access to recreational facilities like parks and playgrounds. If homes are not close to such places, children have fewer opportunities for physical activity.
• Option 2: Schools typically do not allow skipping physical education classes arbitrarily, and this is not a characteristic specific to low - income neighborhoods.
• Option 3: It is inaccurate to say an entire community is not interested in public health. Public health interest is not related to income level in this generalized way.
• Option 4: There is no evidence that parents in low - income neighborhoods universally disallow sports team participation. This is not a typical or logical reason related to the neighborhood's income level.

Answer:

A. Their homes are not close to parks and playgrounds
