Answer 1

To determine the wettest months based on the rainfall data provided, we need to look for the months with the highest average rainfall according to the points plotted on the graph:

• January: 2.3 inches
• February: 2 inches
• March: 2 inches
• April: 0.6 inches
• May: 0.6 inches
• June: 0.2 inches
• July: 0.45 inches
• August: 0.55 inches
• September: 0.7 inches
• October: 1.6 inches
• November: 2.4 inches
• December: 3.2 inches

From the data:

• The wettest month is December with 3.2 inches.
• The second wettest month is November with 2.4 inches.
• The third wettest month is January with 2.3 inches.

Thus, the wettest months are November, December, and January.

The correct choice is: November, December, and January.
