Here is the official solution:


For statement 1, we are tasked with identifying two food items from different categories that are located to the right of the vertical line at 20 grams of protein per 100 grams of food, and we need to select these foods at the lowest cost.
  • Upon reviewing the graph, we see that two foods from the Legume category (Soybean and Peanut) satisfy the condition of having more than 20 grams of protein. Since Peanut has a lower cost than Soybean, one of the selected foods must be Peanut.
  • The only other food item from a different category that falls within this range of protein content is Chicken Breast, which belongs to the Meats category.
Therefore, the correct selection for statement 1 is Peanut and Chicken Breast.

For statement 2, we need to find two food items from different categories that are located to the right of the vertical line at 15 grams of protein per 100 grams of food, and we need to select these foods at the highest cost.
  • From the Fish category, Shrimp has the highest cost of the items that meet the criteria of at least 15 grams of protein per 100 grams of food.
  • The next item that fits the highest cost criteria from a different category is Pork Chops, which belongs to the Meats category.
Therefore, the correct selection for statement 2 is Shrimp and Pork Chops.

Note: The units of the x and y axes may appear confusing, but it ultimately doesn't matter since all items are scaled to the same units.
