Question

The Australian Guide to Healthy Eating defines a standard serve of fruit as roughly 150 g (or the equivalent in common portions). The Guide lists explicit everyday equivalents (examples) so people can recognise a serve: for instance, 1 medium piece of fruit (apple, orange, banana) or 2 small pieces (e.g. 2 small apricots or 2 small plums), a cup of diced fresh fruit, or a small measured amount of dried fruit.

Step-by-step reasoning:
1. Use the Guide’s serve benchmark: 1 serve ≈ 150 g (or the equivalent portion).
2. Compare each option to the Guide’s examples:
   - Option b: 2 small plums is explicitly given by the Guide as one standard serve (two small stone fruits together approximate the 150 g serve size).
   - Option a: 1 small banana — the Guide counts a medium banana as 1 serve. A small banana weighs noticeably less than a medium banana, so 1 small banana is typically less than one serve.
   - Option c: 40 g dried fruit — the Guide treats dried fruit as much more energy-dense; a standard serve of dried fruit is about 30 g (for example, 2 tablespoons). 40 g would be more than one serve, not exactly one serve.
   - Option d: ½ cup canned fruit — half a cup is about 75 g, which is roughly half the 150 g serve (so it is about 0.5 serve), not a full serve (unless the Guide’s canned-fruit example specified a different volume, the common conversion treats ½ cup as smaller than a full 150 g serve).

Simple calculations shown:
- Serve benchmark = 150 g.
- ½ cup canned fruit ≈ 75 g → 75 / 150 = 0.5 serve.
- 40 g dried / 30 g standard dried serve ≈ 1.33 serves (so not one serve).
- Small banana < 150 g (so < 1 serve).

Why the correct answer is correct:
The Guide explicitly lists “2 small plums” as an example of one standard serve of fruit. The other choices either under- or over-shoot the standard serve amount or refer to a size that doesn’t meet the Guide’s example.

Why other options are incorrect (brief):
- a: small banana is smaller than the medium banana counted as one serve.
- c: 40 g dried fruit exceeds the usual dried-fruit serve (≈30 g).
- d: ½ cup canned fruit is about 75 g, roughly half a standard 150 g serve.

Conclusion: The correct answer is b. 2 small plums, which matches the provided answer.
