Published:
Based on the information above, which of the following is correct? A) Teenagers prefer camping in their free time. B) Mostly, girls visit their grandparents in their free time. C) More boys than teenagers read books in their free time. D) More teenagers meet up with their friends in their free time.
This question includes visual content: A horizontal bar chart showing four categories of activities: 'Meeting up with friends', 'Visiting grandparents', 'Going camping', and 'Reading books'. On the y-axis, the categories are listed, and on the x-axis, represented as a horizontal scale, the number of teenagers is shown from 0 to 70. Each category has two bars: a blue bar for 'Boys' and a red bar for 'Girls'. 'Meeting up with friends' has a taller red bar than blue bar. 'Visiting grandparents' shows very low numbers for both. 'Going camping' displays a short blue bar. 'Reading books' shows a tall blue bar and a slightly shorter red bar, both reaching past 60.

Hi Nehir, let's analyze this bar chart to find out which statement about teenagers' free time activities is correct.
Analyzing Teenagers' Free Time Activities
First, let's look at the legend. The blue bars represent boys, and the red bars represent girls. We have categories for meeting up with friends, visiting grandparents, going camping, and reading books.
| Activity | Boys (Blue) | Girls (Red) |
|---|---|---|
| Meeting up | 45 | 55 |
| Grandparents | 0 | 10 |
| Camping | 10 | 0 |
| Reading | 45 | 35 |
The first statement suggests that teenagers go camping in their free time. Looking at the chart, we see a blue bar for boys at ten, but the girl's bar is at zero. So, camping is an activity for some teenagers.
The second statement says most teenagers visit their grandparents in their free time. Let's check the numbers. Only ten girls and zero boys visit their grandparents.
Compared to over forty five teenagers meeting friends or reading books, ten is certainly not 'most' of the group. So this statement is incorrect.
The third statement is that none of the teenagers read books in their free time.
