III: Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question from the four

Carbohydrates, which are sugars, are an essential part of a healthy diet. They
provide the main source of energy for the body, and they also function to flavor
and sweeten foods. Carbohydrates range from simple sugars like glucose to
complex sugars such as amylose and amylopectin. Nutritionists estimate that
carbohydrates should make up about one-fourth to 5 one-fifth of a person’s diet.
This translates to about 75-100 grams of carbohydrates per day.
A diet that is deficient in carbohydrates can have an adverse effect 10 on a
person’s health. When the body lacks a sufficient amount of carbohydrates it must
then use its protein supplies for energy, a process called gluconeogenesis. This,
however, results in a lack of necessary protein, and further health difficulties may
occur. A lack of carbohydrates can also lead to ketosis, a build-up of ketones 15 in
the body that causes fatigue, lethargy, and bad breath.
