Let’s solve this step by step.
We need to organize the food items at the bottom into the correct levels of the food pyramid shown above. The pyramid has 5 levels, from top to bottom:
1.
Fats, oils and sweets (top — smallest section)
2.
Milk and dairy
3.
Bread, cereals and pasta
4.
Fish, meat and eggs
5.
Fruit and vegetables (bottom — largest section)
Now let’s look at each food item below and match it to the right level.

Step 1: Identify each food item
From left to right, top row:
- Steak → meat → goes in “Fish, meat and eggs”
- Eggs in carton → eggs → “Fish, meat and eggs”
- Lettuce/cabbage → vegetable → “Fruit and vegetables”
- Lollipops and candies → sweets → “Fats, oils and sweets”
- Fish → fish → “Fish, meat and eggs”
- Bread loaf → bread → “Bread, cereals and pasta”
- Apple → fruit → “Fruit and vegetables”
Bottom row:
- Tomato → vegetable → “Fruit and vegetables”
- Cereal box + bowl → cereal → “Bread, cereals and pasta”
- Pasta with sauce → pasta → “Bread, cereals and pasta”
- Banana → fruit → “Fruit and vegetables”
- Milk carton + glass → dairy → “Milk and dairy”

Step 2: Group them by category
✔ Fats, oils and sweets:
→ Lollipops and candies
✔ Milk and dairy:
→ Milk carton + glass
✔ Bread, cereals and pasta:
→ Bread loaf
→ Cereal box + bowl
→ Pasta with sauce
✔ Fish, meat and eggs:
→ Steak
→ Eggs in carton
→ Fish
✔ Fruit and vegetables:
→ Lettuce/cabbage
→ Apple
→ Tomato
→ Banana

Step 3: Double-check
Make sure every item is placed correctly according to standard food groups.
- Sweets? Only candy/lollipops → correct.
- Dairy? Only milk → correct.
- Grains? Bread, cereal, pasta → all good.
- Protein? Meat, fish, eggs → yes.
- Fruits & veggies? Apple, banana, tomato, lettuce → perfect.
No duplicates or missing items.
