Tick (√) the statements that are correct.
By eating rice alone, we can fulfil nutritional requirement of our body. ( )

Answer 1

By eating rice alone, we can fulfil nutritional requirement of our body. (X)

The given statement is false.

Rice is rich in carbohydrates. The major nutrients required by our food are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. In addition, the food contains dietary fibres and water which are also needed by our body. All these nutrients are required to fulfil the nutritional requirement of our body. Hence, eating rice alone cannot fulfil the nutritional requirement of our body.
