Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question presents a multiple-choice item about eating disorders, with four possible options.
Option 1: Binge eating. This describes episodes of eating large amounts of food, often rapidly and to discomfort, but it does not denote an extreme restriction of food intake or an obsession with being thin, which is a key element in this item’s stem. Therefore this choice mismatches the described behavioral pattern.
Option 2: Bulimia. Bulimia nervosa involves cycles of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors such as purging, fasting, or excessive exercise. While it relates to eating disorders and concerns about body image, the defining feature here is not a pervasive restriction of intake alone, but a pattern that includes recurrent attempts to reverse or control weight after binges. This makes it an incorrect fit for the strict restriction-and-thin-obsession described.
Option 3: Obesity. Obesity is a medical condition characterized by excessive body fat, and it is not defined by an obsessive restriction of food or preoccupation with being thin. It does not capture the essential psychological preoccupation with food intake and body image that the stem implies, so this choice is not aligned with the described disorder.
Option 4: Anorexia. Anorexia nervosa is the eating disorder characterized by significant restriction of food intake and an intense fear of gaining weight or being fat, leading to a distorted body image and an obsession with being thin. This aligns precisely with the stem’s description of extreme restriction and preoccupation with thinness, making it the correct mapping to the statement.
In summary, the options differ in whether they emphasize restriction, binge-purge cycles, body-fat concerns, or body image preoccupations, and only the fourth option captures the combination of extreme restriction and thin-obsession described in the prompt.
