Answer options:

a.body weight relative to height; the amount of one’s abdominal fat

b.body weight relative to height; one’s height

c.abdominal fat relative to height; one’s age

d.abdominal fat relative to height; one’s hip measurement

Answer

a.

Explanation:

BMI takes into account your weight and your height. However, this can be a bit problematic because it doesn't take into account muscle mass. So someone who is, for example, short and muscular but with little to no body fat, could show an "obese" BMI, even though they are in great shape.

BSI aims to overcome this by also taking into account abdominal fat by measuring waist circumference. Body shape seems to be better at predicting how likely someone is to suffer weight-related illnesses, so BSI takes into account these factors for a more accurate measure.

A long time ago when schools were first created, they didn't have sports teams or after school clubs. It was morning to afternoon and that was it.
Since most students were fascinated by the things the teacher taught them, they wanted to bring it home and show their family what they were learning in school. So then, homework was created and hasn't stopped since. A good way to deal with homework is to reward yourself for each thing you get done or take breaks every 1/2 hour in order to keep up the good work! Also, you should do your homework as soon as possible to keep everything you learned fresh in your mind, you're more likely to get better accuracy on the assignment. Even though children are developing, schoolwork should be put above going to the mall, sports practice, etc...
