Which of the following provides a relevant, supporting detail consistent with the information in the graph?

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. an average of 100 million dollars per weekend during the first four installments.
• C. 170 million dollars a piece.
• D. slightly less than average for the Order of the Phoenix and the Half-Blood Prince.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

(A) Analyze the graph, specifically looking at "Deathly Hallows: Part 1" and "Deathly Hallows: Part 2." Choice (B) is incorrect in that it doesn't answer the question, but instead refers to the wrong movies. Choice (C) is incorrect, as "Part 1" grossed only 120 million dollars. Choice (D) is incorrect, as the two grossed significantly more than "Half-Blood Prince" and "Order of the Phoenix." The correct answer is choice (A): the sum of the two movies was 280 million dollars, which is "nearly 300 million."
