nursing 19–30	120	19	500

Explanation:

First Statement: Vitamin E needs for males ages 19–30 are ____ those for females of the same age.

Looking at the Vitamin E (mg) column, both Male 19–30 and Female 19–30 have a value of 15 mg. So the needs are equal.

Male 19–30 has 90 mg of Vitamin C. Female 19–30 has 75 mg, Pregnant 19–30 has 85 mg, and Nursing 19–30 has 120 mg. So only Nursing (19–30) has more than 90 mg.

Male 19–30: 400 µg, Female 19–30: 400 µg, Pregnant 19–30: 600 µg, Nursing 19–30: 500 µg. So Pregnant (19–30) has the greatest.
