Question 7 • FL-8500355-Nutrition and Wellness (IS)
Jared gets annoyed because his mom insists that he help her chop vegetables and prepare meat while she is cooking dinner. None of his friends ever have to cook and Jared doesn’t see why he should have to. What is his mom’s MOST likely motivation behind insisting that her son help with the meal prep?
Answer
A
She wants him to know how to cook when he is an adult.
B
She doesn’t like cooking and wants him to distract her.
C
She is not good at time management and can’t do it alone.
D
She is hoping that Jared will pursue a career as a chef.
Explanation
Helping prepare meals gives Jared a chance to learn practical cooking skills he can use when he lives on his own as an adult. His mom is most likely teaching him to prepare food, rather than asking for help because she dislikes cooking or expecting him to become a chef.
