Answer 1

Based on the options provided and typical trends in tuition rates, the valid claim that can often be supported by such a graph is:

The greatest one-year increase in tuition occurred from 1997 to 1998.

This claim can generally be assessed by looking at the tuition amounts for those specific years on the graph. However, without seeing the actual graph, this response assumes that the increase between those years is significant compared to the other years.

The other claims such as "the rate of increase was the same from year to year," "tuition rates doubled between 1996 and 1999," and "tuition rates will continue to increase over the next 5 years" are less definitive and rely on specific data trends, which cannot be validated without the graph.
