Read the excerpt from "healthy eating." fourteen years ago, juanita ferguson, 55, had a kidney transplant. so she watched what she ate and always included fruits and vegetables in her diet. but it was the finer points that ferguson, a supervisor in the respiratory care department at baptist, was missing. she bought honey wheat bread, not realizing that at her age she needed much more fiber. she was unaware of her carb intake. and she had no idea that on weekends, when she was completing chores and running errands, forgetting to eat was causing problems. how does the excerpt support the author's claim that making small changes can have positive effects? it shows that ferguson just needed to eat more fruits and vegetables to improve her health. it shows that ferguson just needed the correct information about what to eat to improve her diet. it shows that ferguson simply needed to live a more relaxed lifestyle to improve her eating habits. it shows that ferguson simply needed to cut down on her carbohydrates to improve her diet.

Hi!

The answer would be option B. It shows that Ferguson just needed the correct information about what to eat to improve her diet.

Explanation:

This excerpt is showing us that Juanita Ferguson put effort into bettering her diet by adding fruits and vegetables, but it also shows us the many things  Juanita was unaware were damaging her health, such as not knowing she needed fiber n her diet and not being aware that her calory intake was too high. From these two things mentioned in the passage, we can conclude that option B, Ferguson just needed the correct information about what to eat to improve her diet, is the right answer. If Juanita would've had the correct information about what to eat then she would've incorporated more fiber into her diet by eating whole wheat bread instead of honey wheat bread, and if she would've had the correct information about what to eat, then she wouldn't be eating foods rich in calories.

The answer is B: It shows that Ferguson just needed the correct information about what to eat to improve her diet.
