Solution 1
The correct answer is "Sentences 2 and 3".
Sentence 2 and 3 contain specific data and statistics about obesity rates worldwide, which are not common knowledge and would need to be referenced. These sentences are likely based on information from a source, as they provide specific figures and facts about the global obesity epidemic.
Sentence 1 is a general statement about societal preoccupation with weight loss, and sentence 4 is a general conclusion drawn from the data presented in sentences 2 and 3. These sentences do not appear to contain specific sourced information, so they would not necessarily need to be referenced.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.Currently, overweight and obesity represent a public health problem that affects populations of all cultures, socioeconomic classes, and ages, including children. Obesity has been considered to result from lifestyle changes, especially in food consumption, physical activity and sedentary tendencies, because the environment has grown more obesogenic in recent decades. Regarding food habits, there have been the following two opposing tendencies: 1) an increasing consumption of high-caloric industrialized foods and beverages; for instance, Mexican school children obtain approximately 20.7% of their energy from sweetened beverages, and 2) a decreasing consumption of natural and healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains, which is a habit considered to be a risk factor for obesity.Additionally, Western societies, including children, display an increased tendency toward sedentary lifestyles, including resting, watching TV, traveling by car to and from school and performing less physical activity. Physical activity has an important role in maintaining a healthy nutritional status, while sedentary lifestyles are a risk factor for obesity and its comorbidities.According to the Mexican National Nutrition Surveys, the combined prevalence of overweight and obesity in schoolchildren increased from 26.9% in 1999 to 34.8% in 2006. Although the 2012 survey indicates that the prevalence of overweight and obesity has not increased over the past 6 years (34.4%), the percentage is one of the highest among school-age children (5 - 11 years) in Latin America. The recent increase in the problem is likely associated with changes in the lifestyles of families. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to 1) characterize the dietary habits, exercise, and sedentary lifestyles of school children in Mexico City according to eutrophic or obese nutritional status and 2) identify which habits regarding modified foods or exercise styles lead children who live in an obesogenic environment to develop overweight or obesity.Question 12.
