• A. Write a summary of the passage.
• B. Memorize the author’s biography.
• C. Interpret charts, graphs, maps, or diagrams related to the text.
• D. Identify word origins.

Answer: (C)

Graphic/Visual Information questions test your ability to interpret charts, graphs, maps, or diagrams related to the text. You’re expected to read the visual elements—titles, axes, scales, legends, and data points—and use what they show to answer questions that connect the visuals to the written material. This is about translating visual data into understanding of the topic, not just summarizing the prose or recalling unrelated details.

The best choice reflects that skill because it focuses on interpreting the visual data and relating it to the text. The other options miss the main task: writing a summary is about the written passage itself, memorizing an author’s biography isn’t about the visuals, and identifying word origins isn’t about interpreting data from visuals.
