The table shows a website's ratings of the finances and accountability

Statement 1

Gordon will donate to at least one of these charities.

To see whether the information provided indicates whether Gordon will donate to at least one of these charities, we can go back to the passage to review what it says. Doing so, we find the following:

seven charities to which Gordon is considering donating money

Gordon may have other criteria that would prevent him from donating to one or more of these charities.

We see that the text indicates that Gordon is "considering" donating. So, he has not decided to donate money. Also, other criteria may "prevent" him from donating.

Thus, it may be that he will not donate to any of the charities. So, statement 1 is not supported.

Mark "Does not indicate statement is correct."

Statement 2

Gordon will donate to at most one of these charities.

To determine whether we can determine the "most" charities to which Gordon will donate and whether the most is just one, we need to find constraints in the information provided.

The text says the following:

Gordon will NOT donate to a charity UNLESS, for both finances and accountability, it is at least as highly rated as any of the other charities in the same category.

So, the number of charities he will donate to is constrained to the number that, for both finances and accountability, are at least as highly rated as any of the other charities in their respective categories.

To see how many charities fit this criterion we can sort by category.

In Community, Together We Will is not as highly rated in Accountability as Civica, and Civica is not as highly rated in Finances as Together We Will. So, neither charity in Community fits Gordon's criterion.

In Environment, Nature's Friends is not as highly rated in Finances as the other two charities, Green World is just as highly rated in both Finances and Accountability as the other two charities, and Eco Society is not as highly rated in Accountability as the other two charities. So, in Environment, Green World fits Gordon's criterion.

In Health, Solutions in Medicine is not as highly rated in Finances as Healthy Hearts, whereas Healthy Hearts is rated higher in Finances than Solutions in Medicine and as highly in Accountability as Solutions in Medicine. So, in Health, Healthy Hearts fits Gordon's criterion.

So, there are two charities to which Gordon may donate, Green World and Healthy Hearts. Thus, it is NOT true that Gordon will donate to at most one of these charities.

Mark "Does not indicate statement is correct."

Statement 3

Gordon will not donate to a charity in the Community category.

Reviewing what we already found with regard to Community when finding the answer for statement 2, we see that neither charity in Community fits Gordon's criterion that "Gordon will NOT donate to a charity UNLESS, for both finances and accountability, it is at least as highly rated as any of the other charities in the same category."

So, from our analysis for statement 2, we already know that Gordon will not donate to a charity in the Community category, and thus statement 3 is supported by the passage.

Mark "Indicates statement is correct."
