According to the USDA, the five food groups are:

  1. Grains
  2. Vegetables
  3. Fruits
  4. Dairy
  5. Protein (which includes meat)

So the correct responses from your list are:

  • Grains
  • Meat (considered part of the Protein group)
  • Vegetables
  • Milk (part of Dairy)
  • Fruits
  • Dairy

"Wheat" is a type of grain and wouldn't be considered a separate food group, and "Proteins" is a category that includes various sources of protein, not a standalone group.

Therefore, the responses you should choose are:

  • Grains
  • Meat
  • Vegetables
  • Milk
  • Fruits
  • Dairy
