​What are they?

Quantitative Evidence Questions are questions that have charts/tables which you have to use as evidence for the context/hypothesis in the text provided below. Personally, it is one of the simpler types of questions on the SAT.

• Skim through the graph to get an approximation e.g. the largest graph and the smallest.

• Within the text there are a lot of extra information that we do not need thus the first thing to do will be to figure out the main idea/hypothesis.

• Find out the False Answers(Those that don't match the graph) and eliminate them.

• Lastly compare the remaining possibilities and put them in the text.

Multiple Choice

• for both depth ranges measured, the average concentrations of nitrate were substantially higher in the seawater in the lava-affected area than in the seawater outside of the lava-affected area.

• for both depth ranges measured in the seawater in the lava-affected area, the average concentrations of nitrate were substantially higher than the average concentrations of phosphate.

• in the seawater outside of the lava-affected area, there was little change in the average concentration of nitrate from 75–125 meters below the surface to 5–45 meters below the surface.
