what does the word consumer mean in the following sentence?
because of these concerns, many consumers want to know if the food they eat contains gmos.
a person who sells food
an object of monetary value
a label added to products
a person who eats or uses something

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "consumer", we analyze the word parts. The root "sum" means "take" (in Latin, related to using/taking in), and the suffix "-er" means "a person or thing that does something". In the sentence, consumers want to know about the food they eat, so they are people who eat/use something. The other options don't fit: selling food is a seller, monetary value is an asset, and a label is not a person.

Answer:

D. a person who eats or uses something
