- To find the correct answer, we can analyze the scenario provided. Cary feels sluggish and loses concentration during class, which could be related to lack of energy and alertness. Improved blood sugar levels can contribute to better energy levels and increased alertness. Therefore, the answer is improved blood sugar levels.
2. To identify the organization that helps promote a healthy community by outlining laws for the people and companies to follow, we need to consider the options given: government, schools, healthcare providers, and parks and recreation.
- The government is responsible for creating and implementing laws and regulations that are essential for maintaining a healthy community. Therefore, the answer is the government.
