1.

How much percentage of food is thrown away in schools?
- A.
  
  27%
- B.
  
  23%
- C.
  
  95%
Correct Answer
A. 27%

Explanation
Approximately 27% of food is thrown away in schools. This suggests that a significant portion of the food provided in schools goes to waste. This could be due to various reasons such as students not liking the food, portion sizes being too large, or inadequate storage and handling practices. It is important for schools to address this issue and find ways to reduce food waste, not only to save resources but also to promote sustainability and ensure that students are receiving nutritious meals.

2.

Elementary schools waste more food than upper grades.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Elementary schools tend to waste more food than upper grades due to various reasons. Younger children may be more likely to take more food than they can eat, leading to more leftovers. They may also be less aware of the importance of not wasting food and may not have developed good eating habits yet. Additionally, younger children may have more limited food preferences and may be less likely to eat certain types of food, resulting in more waste. Therefore, it is likely that elementary schools waste more food than upper grades.

Explanation
Vegetables are the foods most wasted in schools because they are often seen as less appealing to children compared to main dishes or fruits. Many students tend to throw away or leave untouched their vegetable servings, resulting in a higher amount of vegetable waste. This could be due to factors such as taste preferences, lack of familiarity with certain vegetables, or simply a lack of interest in eating them.
