Tips for Eating Calcium Rich Foods
Dairy: Beverage
• Include milk as a beverage at meals.

• Cappuccinos or lattes: ask for them with fat-free (skim) milk.
Dairy: Meals
• Oatmeal and hot cereals: Try adding fat-free or low-fat milk instead of water
• Use fat-free or low-fat milk when making condensed cream soups (e.g., cream of tomato).
• Shredded low-fat cheese with casseroles, soups, stews, or vegetables
• Fat-free or low-fat yogurt with a baked potato
Dairy: Snack
• Have fat-free or low-fat yogurt as a snack.
o Make a dip for fruits or vegetables from yogurt.
o Make fruit-yogurt smoothies in the blender.
Dairy: Dessert
• Chocolate or butterscotch pudding with fat-free or low-fat milk.
• Cut-up fruit with flavored yogurt for a quick dessert.
Non-Dairy Products:
• Lactose Intolerance
o Lactose-free alternatives within the milk group (e.g., cheese, yogurt, or lactose- free milk)
o Consume the enzyme lactase before consuming milk products.
• Personal choice to avoid dairy:

o Canned fish (sardines, salmon with bones) soybeans and other soy products, some other dried beans, and some leafy greens.
What text feature does the author use to organize the passage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Headings and subheadings are commonly used text features that help organize a passage by signaling different sections or topics. In this case, the passage is organized with clear headings such as 'Dairy: Beverage,' 'Dairy: Meals,' 'Dairy: Snack,' and 'Dairy: Dessert.' These headings provide a structured layout, making it easier for readers to identify specific information within each category. Superscripts, diagrams, and labels and footnotes are not used in this passage for organizing content, making them incorrect choices.
