1. In the following ingredient list, which is the most abundant by weight? Ingredients: enriched flour, sugars, eggs, soy lecithin, artificial colors, natural flavors, milk.

• A. milk
• B. eggs
• C. sugar
• D. enriched flour

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'enriched flour.' In ingredient lists, items are typically listed by weight in descending order. Therefore, the first ingredient, in this case, 'enriched flour,' is the most abundant by weight. Choice A, 'milk,' is not the most abundant as it appears last in the list. Choice B, 'eggs,' and choice C, 'sugar,' also rank lower in the list compared to 'enriched flour,' making them less abundant by weight.
