1. **State the problem:** We need to identify which graph correctly represents the water level in the dunk tank over the course of the day based on the description. 2. **Analyze the situation:** - At the start of the day, Bryce fills the tank nearly full, so the water level quickly rises to near maximum. - The booth remains closed for a while, so the water level stays nearly constant. - During the day, some water splashes out, so the water level gradually decreases. - At the end of the day, Bryce drains all remaining water, so the water level drops sharply to zero. 3. **Check each graph against this behavior:** - Graph 1: Water level quickly rises, remains nearly constant, then sharply drops to zero at the end. This matches the description. - Graph 2: Water level starts high, drops sharply, rises again, then drops sharply. This does not match because the water level should not rise after dropping. - Graph 3: Water level rises, then steadily declines, then rises sharply at the end. This does not match because the water level should not rise sharply at the end. - Graph 4: Water level rises sharply, then steadily declines in a straight line to zero at the end. This is close but the decline should be gradual with some splashing, not necessarily a straight line. 4. **Conclusion:** Graph 1 best represents the water level over the day. **Final answer:** Graph 1 (top-left)
