A table lists the quantities of various resources used in a community over a year. Explain how you would extract and interpret this resource information.

I would analyze the table by identifying the different resources listed and their corresponding quantities. I would interpret the data by comparing the amounts of each resource used, looking for trends or patterns in resource consumption.

A strong answer should directly address the approved learning objective to translate resource information between graphical and numerical forms. (MS 4a). This question belongs to Using the Earth's resources and sustainable development within Using the Earth's resources and obtaining potable water, so the response should use that exact curriculum context rather than a generic statement. The answer is correct when it names the key idea, explains the link to graphical form, and keeps the wording specific to AQA GCSE revision.
