Question

In a recent survey of students who graduated from a large public high school, nine out of ten students reported that they passed biology with a grade of seventy-five percent or higher. What further data could be produced to be sure that this information is accurate?
a review of the students’ school transcripts
a survey of students from nearby high schools
a consult with the students’ parents
an interview of students from the previous graduating class

Answer 1

a review of the students’ school transcripts

Reason: transcripts are the official records of grades and will verify whether students actually earned 75% or higher in biology. The other options are indirect or not directly relevant.
