Question

yana is in the school computer lab writing a paper for history class. the graph represents the number of words yana has written after a number of minutes. which situation could describe yanas activities in the computer lab? yana opened her saved paper, wrote, took a break, deleted some of the words, and then began writing again. yana began writing a new paper, deleted some of her words, took a break, and then began writing again. yana opened her saved paper, deleted some of her words, began writing, and then took a break. yana began writing a new paper, took a break, and then deleted some of what she had written.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the graph's first segment

The graph starts with an upward slope, meaning words typed increase (writing). Then a horizontal line (break, since words don't change).

Step2: Analyze the middle segment

A downward slope (words decrease, deleting). Then an upward slope (writing again).

Step3: Match with options

• Option 1: Opened saved paper (starts with writing, matches first slope), wrote (up), break (horizontal), deleted (down), wrote again (up). Matches the graph.
• Option 2: Starts with writing new paper, but first slope is writing (but then deletes first, which doesn't match first upward slope).
• Option 3: Deletes first, but graph starts with writing (up), not deleting (down).
• Option 4: Deletes after break, but graph has delete before the final write.

Answer:

A. Yana opened her saved paper, wrote, took a break, deleted some of the words, and then began writing again.
