QUESTION 7

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is - (B) the amount of food that is typically consumed.

Explanation -

The symptoms of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa overlap at a large extent. Both are eating disorders in which the individual, affected by any of those, tries to lose weight in unhealthy manner. But there are some key differences between both the disorders.

People suffering with anorexia tend to reduce their food intake to lose weight. It includes extreme dieting and in some cases people stop eating or eat minimal.

People with bulimia continue to eat. Unlike people with anorexia they binge, or overeat large amount of foods. The repetitive cycles of binge-eating lead to self-induced vomiting or starvation which further leads to weight loss.

Whereas excessive exercise is common in both the disorders.
