plot a
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
plot b
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Explanation:

1. Check for gaps: Plot A has no data between 8 and 10 (a gap), while Plot B has data points from 3 to 8 with no breaks.
2. Check spread: Plot A spans 4 to 10, Plot B spans 3 to 8; neither is "widely spread" compared to the other, and Plot A has a distinct gap.
3. Match to options: Only the statement about a gap in Plot A but not Plot B is accurate.

Answer:

There is a gap in Plot A, but not in Plot B.
