Answer:
A. More people are blaming junk food companies for our nation's weight proplems. To improve their reputations, companies that produce soft drinks and other junk food are sponsoring children's sport and other activities
Explanation:
First, we need to observe and acknowledge two parts in this text - cause and effect - and the relation between them.
So, the first part is cause; it states that people are starting to blame junk food companies for weight problems.
The second part is the effect of this cause; these companies are starting to sponsor children's sports activities.
There is also this linking sentence that explains why the companies do that: "Junk food companies are scrambling to save their reputations".
Now we can fully grasp this cause-effect relation and the reason for it.
Regarding this, answer C and D don't summarize this excerpt's idea, while answer B doesn't show cause-effect relation; it just states two things, without the connection.
In today’s society both men and women are still expected to act a certain way, but society has become more open with the roles genders play. For example, both men and women are expected to work just as they are expected to do chores. Women today are less expected to wear makeup and dress up in a feminine way, same thing with men. In today’s society people are more diverse and genders aren’t expected to act a certain way. There will always be people whose opinion is that women should remain doing feminine things and males should do masculine things. But today people are more open and diverse and gender roles have become different.
