Question

examine the graph, then answer the questions. in 1835, the american anti - slavery society had fewer than 500 chapters. between 1835 and 1840, the number of chapters in the society dropdown with options: doubled, tripled, quadrupled. american anti - slavery society chapters bar graph with years 1835, 1838, 1840 and number of chapters on y - axis from 0 to 2500

Explanation:

Step1: Identify 1835 chapter count

From the graph, 1835 chapters $\approx 400$ (fewer than 500)

Step2: Identify 1840 chapter count

From the graph, 1840 chapters $= 2000$

Step3: Calculate growth multiple

$\text{Multiple} = \frac{2000}{400} = 5$, closest to quadrupled? No, wait: 400 4 = 1600, 4005=2000, but the options are doubled (2x), tripled (3x), quadrupled (4x). Wait, 400 to 2000 is 5x, but the closest option that fits the scale: wait, 1835 is ~400, 1840 is 2000. $2000/400=5$, but the options: quadrupled is 4x, but 4004=1600, 2000 is 5x, but the only option that makes sense as the intended answer is quadrupled, since 400 to 2000 is 5x, which is more than tripled (1200) and quadrupled is the highest option. Wait, no, let's recheck: 1835 is <500, let's take 500 as max. 5004=2000. Oh! If 1835 is 500 (upper limit), 500*4=2000, which matches 1840. So:
$\frac{2000}{500}=4$

Answer:

quadrupled
