Problem

Sumup

Can you summarize what you’ve understood in the above steps?

5

Choice.A

Choice A is incorrect as it misinterprets data from the graph: while more women in central Ondo cultivate cereals compared to root crops, they do not constitute the majority for any crop type.

more women in central Ondo mainly cultivated root crops than mainly cultivated cereals.

6

Choice.B

Choice B is correct and is the optimal response as it effectively utilizes data from the graph to illustrate Eludoyin and his colleagues' findings regarding female farmers in select regions of Ondo State, Nigeria. Specifically, it highlights that the majority of farmers cultivating certain crops are female.

most of the farmers who mainly cultivated non–root vegetables in north and south Ondo were women.

7

Choice.C

Choice C is incorrect as it misinterprets the graph data: while the majority of farmers cultivating non-root vegetables in south Ondo are women (approximately 54%), only about 35% (less than half) of the farmers cultivating cereals are female.

most of the farmers who mainly cultivated cereals and most of the farmers mainly cultivated non–root vegetables in south Ondo were women.

Choice.D

Choice D is incorrect as it inadequately concludes the example, merely stating that a similar proportion of women cultivate cereals across the three regions without providing the specific value, thus failing to demonstrate a female majority.

a relatively equal proportion of women across the three regions of Ondo mainly cultivated cereals.
