Question

Child obesity and eating disorders are growing problems in the U.S. Several of Mr. Thomas's middle school students fit these categories. Which of his students most likely shows signs of anorexia?

Answer 1

Answer:

A) A gymnast

Explanation: I have found the types of student that are in this middle school.

a. Tanner, a gymnast, is a fanatic about exercise and has lost a lot of weight during the six months since school started. Mr. Thomas rarely sees him at lunch.

b. Brit seems to be on an emotional roller coaster. Mr. Thomas has noticed that one day she may gorge on her lunch, a friend's lunch, and extra snacks, but other days she skips lunch.

c. Carson is painfully thin. In class photos, he appears to be the thinnest boy in his classroom every year. When Mr. Thomas visits the lunchroom, he sees Carson eating a regular school lunch everyday.

D. Shawna is about thirty pounds overweight and is always on a diet. She tells Mr. Thomas that she has tried one diet after another but nothing has worked for her.

• A gymnast is more likely to show signs of anorexia because the gymnast is obsessed with exercies and he lost a lot of weight during  6 months, which is a pretty long period and another factor is that Mr. Thomas rarely sees him when everybody is having lunch.
