Answer 1

Without seeing the specific bar graph you're referring to, I can provide a general answer based on typical purposes of shapes in graphs.

If the shapes in the bar graph are designed to direct the viewer’s attention toward specific data points, then the answer would likely be **lead the eye**.

If the shapes are used to make the graph visually appealing and keep the viewer engaged, the answer could be **attract and maintain interest**.

If the shapes are simply used to separate or distinguish the different bars of data, then the answer would be **organize information**.

Finally, if the shapes imply some sort of flow or progression over time, the answer might be **provide movement**.

Please select the option that best aligns with your interpretation of the bar graph.
