Analyze the data table

The table lists five countries with their literacy rates and life expectancies:

• China: \(90.9\%\) literacy, \(73.18\) years life expectancy
• India: \(61\%\) literacy, \(69.25\) years life expectancy
• Japan: \(99\%\) literacy, \(82.07\) years life expectancy
• North Korea: \(99\%\) literacy, \(72.2\) years life expectancy
• South Korea: \(97.9\%\) literacy, \(78.64\) years life expectancy

Evaluate the question criteria

The question asks which country best shows that a high literacy rate probably correlates with a high standard of living (represented by high life expectancy).

• We need to find the country that has both the highest literacy rate and the highest life expectancy.
• Japan has the highest literacy rate (\(99\%\), tied with North Korea) and the highest life expectancy (\(82.07\) years) on the chart.
• Comparing Japan to North Korea (which also has \(99\%\) literacy but only \(72.2\) years life expectancy), Japan represents the strongest positive correlation between high literacy and high standard of living.

Match with options

• Option A: China
• Option B: North Korea
• Option C: South Korea
• Option D: Japan

Japan (Option D) is the correct choice.
