This question assesses CCSS.SL.6.2: Interpret information presented in diverse media and formats - visually, quantitatively, orally - and explain how it contributes to a topic, text, or issue under study. Interpreting diverse media means extracting accurate information from tables, which organize data in rows and columns for easy comparison across categories. The correct answer A demonstrates the standard by accurately stating what the table shows - Homeroom B collected the most bottles and Homeroom D collected the fewest, based on comparing the numerical values in the table. Incorrect answers make unsupported inferences (B assumes the reason for Homeroom C's performance relates to class size, which the table doesn't show; C incorrectly states all collected about the same when the data would show variation; D invents a reason about forgetting that isn't in the data). This reveals students may confuse what data shows versus what might explain the data, or may add assumptions not supported by the information presented. Teaching strategy: Teach the difference between "what the data shows" (Homeroom B collected most) versus "why this might be" (which requires additional information). Practice making only claims directly supported by the numbers in the table, using sentence frames like "According to the table..." to keep interpretations grounded in the actual data presented.
