Question

Eating a healthy diet is a lot like building a house. Health experts recommend starting with a good foundation of fruits and vegetables. Strive to include 5-7 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. This foundation will support strong walls for the daily recommended amount of grains, dairy products, and proteins. The roof of the house is the final 10% of a meal, which can be comprised of food products used sparingly - oils, salts, and sugars. A diet, just like a house, should be constructed carefully, using a firm foundation and building strong walls, to lead a healthy lifestyle.

How did the writer try to grab the reader's attention?

A by including an analogy that compares the structure of a house to the structure of a healthy diet

B by setting limits on certain food sources

C by offering recommended serving allowances

D by telling readers what to eat

Answer 2

The correct answer is A by including an analogy that compares the structure of a house to the structure of a healthy diet. The writer grabs the reader's attention by using a comparison that is relatable and familiar to most people (the construction of a house) and applying it to the concept of a healthy diet. This creative approach helps to engage the reader's interest and make the topic more accessible.

Answer 3

The correct answer is A by comparing the structure of a house to the structure of a healthy diet. The writer uses an analogy that grabs the reader's attention by drawing a parallel between two seemingly unrelated topics - the construction of a house and the components of a healthy diet. This comparison piques the reader's curiosity and makes them want to read further to understand the connection and how it can be applied to their own lives.
