Official Solution:
This is a rare type of table question that tests the ability to assess the plausibility of statements as potential explanations for aspects of the data. The question asks which option, if true, would help explain variations in the data across different categories. It does not claim that this has to be the definitive reason for the variation, only that it might be a possible explanation.
Statement 1:
The table shows that the number of planes per squadron is consistently 6. If this statement is true, it would explain why this pattern exists. Therefore, this statement could help explain the information in the table.
Statement 2:
According to the table, France had significantly more planes allocated to hydro, or water-based, activities compared to Belgium—86 squadrons versus 10. If Belgium's coastline was only 2% the length of France's, this would explain the disparity in the number of such aircraft. Therefore, this statement could help explain the information in the table.
Statement 3:
According to the table, more squadrons were allocated to offensive roles, such as attack, attack pursuit, hydro-pursuit, bombing (day-and-night bombing and hydro-bombing), and reconnaissance (tactical and strategical), compared to defensive roles like defense pursuit. This indicates a clear emphasis on offensive missions. Therefore, this statement could help explain the information in the table.
Correct answer:
There was a fixed number of planes per squadron determined by Allied generals for the duration of World War II. "Would help explain"
At the time of World War II, Belgium's coastline was approximately 2% the length of France's coastline. "Would help explain"
