I believe it would be A. because B is not true, you would have enough information to make a call. C is incorrect because the range in the fourth grade book is only 6, while the range of the eighth grade book is 9. and D is false because even if you take the mean plus the range to find the longest book, the eight grade book would still have a longer word
