To determine which set of headings could effectively describe the rows and columns of Mr. Cho's family members, we need to consider the nature of the data being organized in a two-way table.
A two-way table typically organizes data that relates to two categorical variables. From the options provided:
1. **Whether the relative was born in Korea; whether the relative speaks Korean** - This combines two categorical variables related to Mr. Cho's family members' backgrounds and language abilities. This is a suitable choice for a two-way table.
2. **Whether the relative was born in Korea; what their favorite Korean meal is** - This also combines a location-related categorical variable and a preference-related categorical variable, making it another possible choice for a two-way table.
3. **What city in Korea is their favorite; whether the relative speaks Korean** - While this involves location and language, the link between "favorite city" and language is not as direct or meaningful as the previous options, making this option less suitable.
4. **What city in Korea is their favorite; what their favorite Korean meal is** - Both headings are categorical favorites and do not provide any relationship to language or birthplace, making this choice less relevant for describing family members' backgrounds.
Considering these points, the first option (**Whether the relative was born in Korea; whether the relative speaks Korean**) and the second option (**Whether the relative was born in Korea; what their favorite Korean meal is**) are the most suitable for Mr. Cho's table regarding family members.
If the goal is to include meaningful distinctions in family relationships regarding nationality and language, the first option would be the best choice. If the emphasis is on culinary preferences, then the second option would fit.
