Answer 7

if the graph shows how the grass is growing,
where up-down is how high it is
and left-right is over time

we can see that option A is wrong because it looks like the grass is getting shorter

do you see what I mean? :)

Answer 8

Yeah I see what you mean Thanks I think its B or D would I be incorrect chooseing one of those 2? @jigglypuff314

Answer 9

hmm
Why have you ruled out C?

and since they stated that "the grass was already a few centimeters tall"
we can assume that option B isn't right either

Answer 10

Ohhhhh I understand Thanks 4 your help @jigglypuff314 :D

Answer 11
