Answer 1

Answer:

Distal, proximal

Explanation:

Changes to fast-food restaurants (which now generally display the caloric content of items on the menu) would be considered a distal influence, whereas a parent who lets the child decide to select an extra-large helping of cheese would be considered a proximal influence.  Distal influences are environmental influences that are not present in the child's immediate environment while proximal influences are those present in the child's immediate environment.
