A.

B.
As the weeks progressed, his weight increased.

C.
As the weeks progressed, his weight first decreased, then it increased.

D.
As the weeks progressed, his weight increased at first, and then it decreased.

Answer 1

I can’t see the scatter plot — could you upload the image or describe how the points move over the 12 weeks (for example, “weights start high, drop until week 5, then rise” or give a few sample values) ?

If you prefer to decide yourself, here’s a quick method:
- If the points trend downward from left to right, choose A (decreased).
- If they trend upward from left to right, choose B (increased).
- If they go down initially and then go up (a U‑shape), choose C (first decreased then increased).
- If they go up initially and then go down (an upside‑down U), choose D (increased then decreased).

Send the picture or a short description and I’ll pick the correct option.
