• Opción 1: La barra para "Less than high school" es menor a $40,000, así que esta es falsa.
• Opción 2: La barra para "Master’s degree" está entre $40,000 y $80,000, no sobre $80,000, así que es falsa.
• Opción 3: La barra para "Doctoral or professional degree" está cerca de $120,000, pero no se indica que "all" (todos) ganen más de $120,000, así que es falsa.
• Opción 4: Los grados más allá del high school (Some college, no degree; Postsecondary nondegree award; Associate’s degree; Bachelor’s degree; Master’s degree; Doctoral or professional degree) tienen barras que, en su mayoría, están por encima de $40,000, así que esta es verdadera.
