Which of the following should you consider when looking for food in a survival situation?

  1. Avoid any unfamiliar plants

  2. Cook all plants to kill potential toxins

  3. Do not eat any plants unless you can positively identify them as being safe to eat

  4. Eating raw plants is generally safe

The correct answer is: Avoid any unfamiliar plants

When searching for food in a survival situation, it is important to be cautious and avoid any unfamiliar plants as they may be poisonous. This eliminates option D as it suggests that eating raw plants is generally safe. Option B is also incorrect as cooking does not ensure safety if the plant itself is toxic. While option C may seem like a safe choice, positively identifying plants can be difficult and potentially dangerous. It is best to err on the side of caution and avoid unfamiliar plants altogether.
