Practice 2:
In the past, a classic American school lunch included a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but those days are over. Peanuts have become too dangerous to be in the classroom.
In the last 5 to 10 years, there has been an increase in the number of children who have peanut allergies. Peanut allergies can be fatal. If someone with a peanut allergy is exposed to peanuts, they can get very sick. They might get red bumps on their bodies, have stomach pains, have trouble breathing, or stop breathing all together!
Because of this health issue, parents have tried to have peanuts taken out of schools and restaurants. Governments have also tried to help people avoid allergic reactions by making companies label their products with warnings. The label “MAY CONTAIN PEANUTS" can be found on hundreds of foods in your local grocery store. In the future, more steps could be taken to stop accidents involving peanut allergies.
Over 1,500 Americans die each year because of peanuts. If you ever feel sick after eating foods containing peanuts, go to the doctor and find out if you have a peanut allergy. The last thing you want is the peanut butter in your sandwich to kill you!
What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To give information about peanut allergies
B. To teach the history of peanuts in America
C. To explain the symptoms of peanut allergies
