For 22 consecutive weeks (Weeks 1-22) of last year, the graph gives weekly ticket sales rankings for each of 4 movies (Movies M-P) when compared to all movies shown in theaters that week. Lower-numbered rankings indicate greater sales. If no data are given for a movie during a given week, the movie either was not yet or was no longer being shown in theaters. None of the 4 movies were shown in theaters during any week other than Weeks 1-22.

Select the options from the drop-down menus that create the most accurate statement based on the information provided.

For each of the weeks that all 4 movies were shown in theaters, exactly  never had the least ticket sales among the 4 movies, and exactly of the 4 movies never had the greatest ticket sales among the 4 movies,

One has to be very clear about the wordings. 
The most important words that can easily be missed out are 'For each of the weeks that all 4 movies were shown in theaters,'.

So look for only these weeks when all four were being shown.

Starting of that period: 3rd week when Movie M also comes on the screen.
Ending of that period: 18th week, next week of which is when Movie O is no longer shown.

Check for the lowest of all four movies each week...Movie O is lowest only in second week but only 3 movies were being shown then.
1 is the answer

Check for the highest of all four movies each week...Again Movie O is never the highest.
1 is the answer

­Hi
According to me it's 1 for greatest and 0 for lowest because of the following
it says lower ranking indicates greatest ticket sales
you just have to see who's on the top amongst the 4  to know who has the greatest sale in a particular week
you can see movie O has never been on top unlike others
So Movie o never had the greatst ticket sales among the 4 movies.

​​​​​​​similarly for lowest, we see the highest ranking of each week and from that I could infer that everyone has at least one week where it was the lowest (highly ranked amongst the four)..


can someone explain please?
