2. Baked goods and chocolate.
3. Soybean oil and walnuts.
4. Fatty fish and pork.

Rationale: Margarine and butter are sources for elaidic acid (a trans-monounsaturated fat) and myristic acid ( a saturated fat). Baked goods and chocolate contain elaidic acid (a trans-monounsaturated fat) and stearic acid (a saturated fat). Soybeans oil is a source of linoleic acid (n-6 polyunsaturated fat) and walnuts contain α-linolenic acid (an n-3-polyunsaturated fat). Fatty fish are a source of eicosapentaenoic acid (an n-3 polyunsaturated acid) and pork contains stearic acid (a saturated fat).
