Answer explanation
Choice A is the best answer because it most effectively uses data from the table to complete the text’s discussion of how much a grower could have expected to receive on average for a box of lemons in July 2021. The table lists the average prices received by US citrus growers in dollars per box for grapefruits, oranges, and lemons in June 2020, June 2021, July 2020, and July 2021. According to the table, the average price of a box of lemons in July 2021 was $31.78.
Choice B is incorrect because the text indies that the employee of a citrus grower wishes to know the average price for a box of lemons in July 2021. According to the table, $23.72 was the average price for a box of grapefruits in June 2021, not for a box of lemons in July 2021. Choice C is incorrect because the text indies that the employee of a citrus grower wishes to know the average price for a box of lemons in July 2021. According to the table, $22.98 was the average price for a box of grapefruits in July 2021, not for a box of lemons in July 2021. Choice D is incorrect because the text indies that the employee of a citrus grower wishes to know the average price for a box of lemons in July 2021. According to the table, $28.94 was the average price for a box of lemons in June 2021, not in July 2021.
