![](https://qallery.app/diagrams/v2_gre_data_1/img-0.jpeg) The bar graph above (Data Analysis Figure 1) shows the fall 2009 enrollment at five colleges. Based on the graph, which college had the **greatest** enrollment?

ACollege A
BCollege B
CCollege D
DCollege E
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. College E
Identify the tallest bar in the chart. The bar for **College E** is visibly the tallest, indicating the largest enrollment. The accompanying text confirms: "From the graph, we can conclude that the college with the greatest fall 2009 enrollment was College E and the college with the least enrollment was College A." The graph's vertical axis shows enrollment counts; reading bar heights left-to-right gives the order. This question cannot be answered without consulting the chart — the bars carry the comparison information that the textual data otherwise omits.
