Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that children who watch more than two hours of television per day are more likely to accumulate body fat than children who watch less. Augustus watches three hours per day, which is 1.25 hours more than the comparison group (1.75 hours), so it is reasonable to assume that he will accumulate more body fat, and therefore the answer is D, 40% more.
