1. The problem asks how the graph showing Sawyer's popularity could be misleading. 2. The table shows Sawyer's popularity increasing from 15% in July to 60% in October. 3. The graph plots these points but arranges months vertically from July at the top to October at the bottom, which is unusual since time usually progresses left to right or bottom to top. 4. Because the months are listed top to bottom, the line connecting the points slopes downward visually, even though the percentages increase. 5. This downward slope can give the false impression that Sawyer's popularity is decreasing over time. 6. Therefore, the graph is misleading because it visually suggests a decrease when the data actually shows an increase. 7. The correct answer is A: "The graph gives the impression that Sawyer's popularity is decreasing". 8. Other options are incorrect because: - B is true but not the main misleading aspect. - C is incorrect; the graph does not imply constant rate. - D is true but not the main misleading aspect.
