The correct answer is: [C]: "healthy". ___________________________________________________ Explanation: ___________________________________________________ <u>Note</u>: The word "but" —which is a coordinating conjunction—functions as "<em><u>t</u></em><u><em>ransition word</em></u> " (in the sentence provided in this very question.). ___________________________________________________ Note the following text (within the sentence provided in this very question):
"I try to select 'nutritious food choices'.... but sometimes the "[French fries and chocolate fudge cake]" just look so 'delicious' . ___________________________________________________ Note that the word "delicious" is used to describe the "French fries and cakes". ___________________________________________________ { This is similar to Choice: [D]: "yummy", so we can eliminate "Choice: [D]" .} . ___________________________________________________ Choices: [A] &[B] do not make much sense. It would be rare for someone to try to select "boring" food choices or "bland" food choices. (Exception: If someone could not tolerate "hot or spicy foods", then "bland" would make sense.}.
Furthermore, the words — "boring" and "bland"—are not synonymous with the word — "nutritious" . _________________________________________________ Also, note the following text within the sentence given: _________________________________________________ "I try to select nutritious food choices in the school cafeteria to help me do well in school ..." _________________________________________________ Taking these factors into consideration, along with the answer choices given,
→ The correct answer is: [C]: "healthy" . _________________________________________________
