Why the other options are wrong:

• removed from every school canteen.: Removal from every canteen contradicts the continued serving described in the opening.
• replaced with fruit in every canteen.: Healthier alternatives were proposed, but the banned foods remained on some menus rather than being replaced everywhere.
• sent only to shops outside schools.: The foods are described inside school canteens, not only in shops outside schools.

Correct Answer: schools are not penalised

Why this is correct: The investigation found that schools receive no penalties for ignoring the junk-food ban. The problem is a lack of enforcement, even though a policy restricting these foods exists.

Why the other options are wrong:

• schools are not legalised: The report does not question whether the schools are legalized. It says they are not penalized for breaking the food policy.
• there is no restriction on the school: There is a restriction: the government has a junk-food ban. The report says the schools are not penalized for ignoring it.
• schools are not authorized: The report does not say the schools lack authorization. It discusses the absence of penalties for non-compliance.

Correct Answer: was a key issue.

Why this is correct: The report explicitly says child obesity was a key issue before the last state election.

Why the other options are wrong:

• was reported to have been eliminated.: The report identifies an ongoing issue rather than saying obesity had been eliminated.
• was ignored by the government.: The canteen policy and premier's health comments show attention to the issue, not its being ignored.
• was unrelated to school canteen policy.: The report connects obesity with nutrition policy in school canteens.

Correct Answer: giving children a benefit that would last a lifetime.

Why this is correct: The premier calls removing junk food a favour to children that will last a lifetime. This supports a lasting benefit.

Why the other options are wrong:

• a temporary response only for the election.: A lifetime benefit contradicts an election-only response.
• making children responsible for running canteens.: The quote concerns children's health, not children taking responsibility for canteen operations.
• allowing schools to stop following nutrition guidelines.: The removal is part of following nutrition policy, not permission to abandon it.

Correct Answer: comply with the guidelines.

Why this is correct: Jo Gardner says schools are struggling to comply with the guidelines. Obeying the guiding principles expresses this difficulty following the nutrition rules.

Why the other options are wrong:

• meet the deadlines.: No deadline is given as the difficulty Gardner identifies. The stated problem is compliance with the guidelines.
• ban all fast food permanently.: Gardner describes difficulty complying with nutrition guidelines, not a permanent ban on all fast food.
• avoid all menu changes.: Schools are struggling to comply with the guidelines, not to avoid every menu change.
