Answer 1

Here are the answers of 5 questions which we can obtain after reading this given paragraph-

• Question 1(How has modern food become our enemy?): We've gotten so fixated on taste and presentation that we eat meals for the sake of enjoyment rather than nutrition. Even as health awareness grows, the range of junk and nutritionally deficient foods grows as well. Each restaurant offers a unique cuisine made from refined flour, oil, and sugar. Pasta, noodles, white rice, white bread, and maida-based goods such as pizzas, burgers, naan, and rumali roti are the most common choices in Italian, Chinese, Indian, and Mexican cuisines. Vegetarian foods are either overdone or contain a significant amount of corn starch and oil. Non-vegetarian foods are either cooked with white sauce or in thick gravies. In this way, modern food has become our enemy.
• Question 2(How do people try to lose weight?): People are still trying to lose weight by consuming fewer foods during the day.
• Question 3(What should you remember while trying to lose weight?): One should remember while trying to lose weight that our health is much more than just weight loss.

• Question 5: Opposite of [i] imperious - humble. [ii]  deprive- enrich.
