What Would Features Of Erin’s Diet Explain Why She Has Been Sick More Than Usual?
– Erin ate at a new restaurant where she was served undercooked meat.
– Erin didn’t cook her vegetables well enough.
– Erin consumed raw seafood while on vacation in Mexico.
– Erin did not consume enough calories or nutrients after returning from a trip to Mexico.
The correct answer is C. Erin consumed raw seafood while on vacation in Mexico. When she returned home, she did not consume enough calories or nutrients, which can lead to sickness due to the body being undernourished and depleted of vitamins and minerals needed to fight off outside bacteria or viruses, such as food poisoning contracted by eating contaminated seafood during travel abroad (Mexico).
The other options are all possible causes of food poisoning but are not why she has been sick more than usual. There is also an option that says her vegetables weren’t cooked well enough. This would be a less likely cause to why she has been sick because it implies there was some other kind of corruption in the meat she ate at this new restaurant which caused her illness.
