Explanation:

Question 1

• Analyze each option:
• "Muscle strength is how strong your muscles are." This is a basic and correct definition of muscle strength.
• "Muscle strength is not important." Muscle strength is important for daily activities, fitness, and health, so this is false.
• "Increasing your strength makes it harder to do things." Increasing strength typically makes tasks easier as muscles can exert more force, so this is false.
• "Muscle strength is how long your muscles can work." That describes muscle endurance, not strength, so this is false.

• Analyze each option:
• "Strong muscles will help you have a better body composition." Stronger muscles can contribute to a higher muscle - to - fat ratio, improving body composition, so this is a benefit.
• "Strong muscles make it easier to do things." With more strength, physical tasks like lifting, walking, etc., become easier, so this is a benefit.
• "There are no benefits to muscle strength." This is false as strength has multiple benefits like improved health, better performance in activities.
• "Strong muscles will help you be healthy." Strong muscles support joint health, metabolic rate, and overall physical function, contributing to health, so this is a benefit.

Answer:

A. Muscle strength is how strong your muscles are.
