Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The goal is to complete the outline by choosing the correct details from the box at the bottom and placing them in the appropriate blanks.

Step 1: Understand the Main Ideas



We have four main ideas (I, II, III, IV), each with supporting details (A, B, C). We need to match the correct detail from the box below to each blank.

---

Box of Details (Available Choices):



- They hope to reduce acne.
- Some have an allergy.
- Soy milk has more protein.
- Oat milk has a mild, creamy flavor.
- It reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
- It makes the bones stronger.
- It is a good source of choline.

---

Now, let’s go through each section:

---

I. Milk is a good source of nutrition.


- A. It gives calcium to the body.
- B. It contains potassium.
- C. _______________

This section is about nutritional content of milk.

Looking at the options:
- "It makes the bones stronger" → related to calcium, so fits here.
- "It is a good source of choline" → also a nutrient.
- But since A and B already mention calcium and potassium, C should be another nutrient.

Best fit: It is a good source of choline.

> C. It is a good source of choline.

---

II. Milk has health benefits.


- A. It is good for the brain.
- B. _______________
- C. _______________

This section is about health benefits, not just nutrients.

Look at the remaining options:
- "It reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease." → a health benefit.
- "It makes the bones stronger." → already used? Wait — we used it earlier?

Wait! Let's double-check: we used "It makes the bones stronger" in I.C? But actually, that might be better suited under health benefits, not just nutrition.

Hold on — maybe we made a mistake.

Let’s reconsider:

- "It makes the bones stronger" is a health benefit due to calcium.
- But "It gives calcium to the body" is a nutritional fact.
- So “It makes the bones stronger” is a result — a health benefit.

So perhaps:
- I.C should be something like "It provides vitamin D" or similar — but that’s not in the list.

But look: "It makes the bones stronger" is in the box. That’s a health benefit, not just a nutrient.

So maybe "It makes the bones stronger" belongs under II, not I.

Let’s re-evaluate.

---

Let’s think logically:

Reassessing Section I: Milk is a good source of nutrition.


- A. Gives calcium → nutrient
- B. Contains potassium → nutrient
- C. Needs another nutrient or component.

Which options are nutrients?
- "It is a good source of choline" → yes, a nutrient.
- "Soy milk has more protein" → protein is a nutrient, but this refers to soy milk, not regular milk.
- "Oat milk..." → again, alternative milk.

So only "It is a good source of choline" is a nutrient-related statement about milk (assuming choline is in milk).

So likely:
> I.C = It is a good source of choline.

Now for Section II: Milk has health benefits.
- A. It is good for the brain.
- B. ?
- C. ?

Health benefits include:
- "It makes the bones stronger" → YES, because of calcium → health benefit.
- "It reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease" → YES, another health benefit.

So both can go here.

So:
> B. It makes the bones stronger.
> C. It reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.

But wait — which one goes where? Order doesn’t matter much, but let’s see if there’s a logical flow.

A says "good for the brain" → so maybe B and C are other benefits.

"Reduces risk of heart disease" and "makes bones stronger" are both valid.

So either order works.

But let’s keep going.

---

III. Some people do not consume milk.


- A. _______________
- B. Some follow a specific diet.
- C. _______________

Reasons why people avoid milk:
- Allergy → "Some have an allergy."
- Diet → already given (B)
- Others: maybe lactose intolerance? Not listed.

Only two options left:
- "They hope to reduce acne." → possible reason? Some believe dairy causes acne.
- "Some have an allergy." → very common reason.

So:
- A. Some have an allergy.
- C. They hope to reduce acne.

But wait — "They hope to reduce acne" is a reason for avoiding milk? Yes, some people avoid dairy to reduce acne.

So:
> A. Some have an allergy.
> C. They hope to reduce acne.

(Or vice versa — but B is already "follow a specific diet", so A and C are the other reasons.)

So:
- A. Some have an allergy.
- B. Some follow a specific diet.
- C. They hope to reduce acne.

Makes sense.

---

IV. Experts have discovered different sources of healthy milk.


- A. Almond milk is an effective alternative for children and adults.
- B. _______________
- C. _______________

This is about alternatives to milk — plant-based milks.

Remaining options:
- "Soy milk has more protein." → fits.
- "Oat milk has a mild, creamy flavor." → fits.

So:
> B. Soy milk has more protein.
> C. Oat milk has a mild, creamy flavor.

(Or vice versa — both are valid characteristics of alternatives.)

---

#### I. Milk is a good source of nutrition.

Explanation:


The task requires matching supporting details to their main idea. Each main idea controls what kind of detail fits:
- Nutrition → nutrients (choline)
- Health benefits → positive effects on body (stronger bones, heart health)
- Reasons for not drinking milk → allergies, diet, skin concerns
- Alternatives → features of plant-based milks (protein, flavor)

By understanding the category of each main idea, we can logically assign the correct details from the box.

All answers are now filled correctly!
