Official Explanation
Sorting the table by the "Rating" column, we see that there is one builder (Bildrite) with no project among the five highest-rated projects. But all four sections of the city are represented among these five projects, so all four sections would be featured in a program that included those five projects.
The correct answer is No.
Sorting the table by the "Price" column, we see that the two least expensive projects were both done by Bildrite in the SW section, whereas the two most expensive were both done by Pitts in the NE section. So selecting the top two and bottom two projects by price would include exactly two builders and two city sections. Since the whole table includes exactly four builders and four city sections, this selection leaves out exactly half the builders and half the city sections.
The correct answer is Yes.
Sorting the table by the "Size (square ft)" column, we see that exactly one builder (Bildrite) had no project among the top three or bottom three by square footage.
The correct answer is Yes.
