7. Lionel wants to compare the heights of his plants. What type of graph would be best for him to use?

a. pie or circle graph
b. line graph
c. bar graph

my answer was c.
The correct answer is b. A line graph would be best for Lionel to use to compare the heights of his plants over time.
That answer was incorrect!
I apologize for the error. Your original answer, c, might also make sense, depending on the specifics of the situation. However, a possible rationale for b being the correct answer is that a line graph is suitable for displaying continuous data over time, which would allow Lionel to track the growth of his plants more accurately.
He wasn't tracking, he was comparing
In that case, a bar graph might be a better choice for Lionel to compare the heights of his plants, especially if he wants to display the data for each plant as separate bars side by side. A pie or circle graph is not suitable for comparing heights of plants, as it is used to show proportions of a whole, rather than individual values.
Thank you anyway.
