true
false

Explanation:

Question 28

In infant nutrition, the first solid food typically introduced is cereal (often iron - fortified rice cereal) as it is easily digestible and can be mixed with breast milk or formula. Soup, potatoes, meat, and corn are not the first solid foods introduced due to factors like digestibility and nutritional needs at that stage.

In adulthood, the primary use of nutrients is for maintenance of body functions (like cell repair, energy for daily activities) rather than growth and development. Growth and development are the main nutrient uses in childhood and adolescence. So the statement is false.

Non - pregnant and non - lactating girls aged 12 - 18 generally have lower calorie needs. Their calorie requirements are typically less than 3000 calories per day. So the statement that they need between 3,000 and 3,500 calories/day is false.

Answer:

E. Cereal
