know which which is which Okay check out the following

00:13

sentence instead of a sandwich burger Drive for a salad

00:15

with some kind of proteins and chicken or beef But

00:17

beware of the sweet sounding vinaigrettes of his sandwiches A

00:19

must ditch the bun and skip the fries or chips

00:23

opting for a side salad or fresh fruit instead and

00:25

here's our question The word ditch has multiple meanings What

00:31

does the word ditch most likely suggest about the type

00:34

of food being described in the text and hear the

00:36

potential answers Okay so we know that many words have

00:43

multiple meanings saw in saw rows and rows writing right

00:47

this informational pamphlets but the focus of the sentences on

01:46

making healthier Choices not more Landfill body In this context

01:50

the authors just suggesting we avoid starch is in favor

01:53

of healthy alternatives which means that sea is the right

01:56

answer Now For our next hama phone we'll discuss the
