Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two highest ages in the list are 40 and 42, so option D (40,42) is the best choice. Option A can be eliminated because it only includes one age, but there are two ages that are higher than 25. Option B can also be eliminated because there are several ages that are higher than 25. Option C includes the lowest and highest ages in the list, but it doesn't include all of the ages that are higher than 25. Option D is the only choice that includes both of the highest ages in the list.
