For each of 20 days, the graph shows City K's maximum temperature, in degrees Celsius, and average (arithmetic mean) relative humidity. A certain city activity was canceled for exactly two days, which are indicated by the black squares. The cancelation for one of those days was because the average relative humidity and maximum temperature were too high to safely conduct the activity, and the other cancelation was because of a rain storm.
From each drop-down menu, select the option that creates the most accurate statement based on the information given.
The day the city activity was canceled because the average relative humidity and maximum temperature were too high to safely conduct the activity was on a day with a maximum temperature of degrees Celsius.
The day the city activity was canceled because of a rain storm was on a day with an average relative humidity of %.

Are you sure about the options in each dropdown? The dropdown 2 talks of vertical axis that varies by 10% with every tick, making a call between 30 and 31 too close for comfort. And even if one has to choose between 30 and 31, there is no reason why 30 cannot be the answer.

Correcte4d the OA.
OFFICIAL EXPLANTION:RO1:
On the graph, the black square positioned higher up and farther right stands for the day that had the greater average relative humidity and maximum temperature of the two days when the activity was canceled. So, this square presumably stands for the day when the activity was canceled because the humidity and temperature were too high to conduct the activity safely. This square is directly above the number 31 on the horizontal axis, which is a scale of the city’s daily maximum temperatures in degrees Celsius. That means the maximum temperature on the day when the activity was canceled because the humidity and temperature were too high was 31 degrees Celsius.
The correct answer is 31.
RO2:
As explained above, the black square farther up and to the right on the graph stands for the day when the activity was canceled because the humidity and temperature were too high. Thus, the other black square lower down and to the left must stand for the day when the activity was canceled because of a rain storm. This latter black square is directly to the right of the number 30 on the vertical axis, which is a scale of the city’s daily average percent relative humidity. Thus, the average relative humidity on the day when the activity was canceled because of the rain storm was 30 percent.
The correct answer is 30.
