question 12 of 20
suppose you are writing a report that compares the average monthly temperatures over the course of one year between two sunbelt states. which visual aid would most clearly support your purpose?

a. pie graph

b. bar graph

c. line graph

d. map

Explanation:

To compare average monthly temperatures over a year between two states, a line graph is best. Line graphs are ideal for showing trends over time (months here) and can easily display two data sets (for the two states) to compare their temperature changes throughout the year. A pie graph shows proportions, a bar graph is better for comparing discrete categories (not time - based trends as clearly), and a map shows geographic info, not temperature trends over time.

Answer:

C. Line graph
