Explanation:

Question 1

A food guide (like USDA MyPlate or similar) helps consumers assess diet quality and modify it. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is part of Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) and focuses on nutrient amounts, daily recommendation is vague, and DRI is a set of nutrient intake values. So "food guide" fits the description of helping evaluate and modify diet.

USDA major food groups are Vegetables, Fruits, Grains, Protein Foods, Dairy, and Oils are not a major food group (they are a separate category for fats). So Oils is not a major food group.

USDA MyPlate guidelines recommend the amounts (portions) of foods from each group (like vegetables, fruits, grains, etc.) to eat daily. It's about food amounts, not just calories, number of items, or servings in a way that's not about quantity of food. So "amounts of foods from each group that should be eaten daily" is correct.

Answer:

C. food guide
