2018 homecoming parade budget
how does the pie chart support the purpose of this document?
○ it illustrates the importance of funding school activities.
○ it reinforces the need for more transparency in spending.
○ it indicates the school’s approval for the parade budget.
○ it gives specific cost information about a school event.

Explanation:

The document's purpose is to show transparency in student council activities (specifically the 2018 homecoming parade budget). The pie chart is a budget breakdown, so it provides specific cost info about the school event (homecoming parade). The first option is about funding importance (not shown), the second is about reinforcing transparency need (the pie chart is the transparency, not reinforcing need), the third is about school approval (no approval info). So the correct option is the one about specific cost info.

Answer:

D. It gives specific cost information about a school event.
