which comparison is supported by the graph?

○ more kids are not participating due to financial reasons than health issues.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option by comparing the percentages from the bar graph:

Option 1: More kids due to concerns over injuries vs canceled programs

• Concerns over injuries: 2%
• Canceled programs (not directly given, but “Program no longer available” is 6%, which is different). 2% < 6% (or other relevant), so false.

Option 2: More kids due to travel time vs no drive/interest

• Travel time (too much travel): 5%
• No drive/interest: 14%

5% < 14%, so false.

Option 3: More kids due to lack of time vs no longer liking sports

• Lack of time: 15%
• No longer liking sports: 17%

15% < 17%, so false.

Option 4: More kids due to financial reasons vs health issues

• Financial reasons: 13%
• Health issues: 3%

13% > 3%, so true.

Answer:

The correct option is: "More kids are not participating due to financial reasons than health issues." (The option with the circle next to "More kids are not participating due to financial reasons than health issues.")
