Carbohydrates are an essential part of a healthy diet and provide the main source of energy for the body. Nutritionists estimate that carbohydrates should make up about one-fourth to one-fifth of a person's daily diet, or around 75-100 grams per day. A diet deficient in carbohydrates can have negative health effects like using protein for energy or developing ketosis, which causes fatigue and bad breath.

❷ Read the following passages and then answer the questions

Passage One:
Carbohydrates, which are sugars, are an essential part of a healthy diet. They provide the main
source of energy for the body, and they also function to flavor and sweeten foods. Carbohydrates range
from simple sugars like glucose to complex sugars such as amylose and amylopectin. Nutritionists estimate
that carbohydrates should make up about one-fourth to one-fifth of a person's diet. This translates to about
75-100 grams of carbohydrates per day.
A diet that is deficient in carbohydrates can have an adverse effect on a person's health. When the
body lacks a sufficient amount of carbohydrates it must then use its protein supplies for energy, a process
called gluconeogenesis. This, however, results in a lack of necessary protein, and further health difficulties
may occur. A lack of carbohydrates can also lead to ketosis, a build-up of ketones in the body that causes
fatigue, lethargy, and bad breath.

a. Carbohydrates prevent a build-up of proteins.

Passage Two:

While the bald eagle is one national symbol of the United States, it is not the only one. Uncle Sam, a
bearded gentleman costumed in the red, white, and blue stars and stripes of the nation's flag, is another
well-known national symbol. According to legend, this character is based on Samuel Wilson, the owner of a
meat-packing business in Troy, New York.
During the war of 1812, Sam Wilson's company was granted a government contract to supply meat
to the nation's soldiers; this meat was supplied to the army in barrels stamped with initials U.S., which
stood for United States. However, the country was at that time relatively young, and the initials U.S. were
not commonly used. Many people questioned what the initials represented, and the standard reply became
"Uncle Sam," for the owner of the barrels. It is now generally accepted that the figure of Uncle Sam is
based on Samuel Wilson, and the U.S. Congress has made it official by adopting a resolution naming
Samuel Wilson as the inspiration for Uncle Sam.
