Which sequence best describes relative violence levels among African-American, Latino, and White families according to survey findings?

• A. White > Latino > African-American
• B. Latino > White > African-American
• C. African-American > Latino > White
• D. African-American > White > Latino

Answer: (D)

Interpreting a ranking from survey findings means you look at the order of reported levels across groups and state which group shows the highest, middle, and lowest values according to the data. In this scenario, the survey reports that violence levels are highest among African-American families, then White families, and lowest among Latino families. That pattern—African-American highest, White in the middle, Latino lowest—fits the data shown in the survey, making it the best description of the relative levels.

Keep in mind that such survey results can be influenced by factors like how likely people are to report violence, differences in definitions or measurement, and various social or economic factors that vary across communities. But given the question’s data, the order African-American > White > Latino matches the observed pattern.
