Based on Figure 2 and Figure 3, which two strategies were used by more passed students than failed ones in both tests?

Question

Figures 2 and 3 show the proportion of passed versus failed students using each listed listening strategy; comparing the heights of the passed and failed bars identifies which strategies were used more often by passed students in both tests.

1) Relevant concepts: interpreting bar charts (compare bar heights/percentages for passed vs failed for each strategy) and consistency across two separate tests (a strategy must show passed > failed in both Figure 2 and Figure 3).

2) Step-by-step comparison:
- For “making predictions”: in Figure 2 the passed-students bar is higher than the failed-students bar; the same pattern appears in Figure 3. Therefore passed > failed for this strategy in both tests.
- For “maintaining focus”: Figure 2 again shows a taller passed bar than failed, and Figure 3 repeats this pattern. Thus passed > failed in both tests for this strategy as well.
- For “using background knowledge”: one figure shows passed slightly higher but the other shows failed equal or higher (so it is not consistently passed > failed across both tests).
- For “doing mental translation”: at least one figure shows failed students using this strategy as much as or more than passed students, so it does not meet the “passed > failed in both tests” criterion.

3) No numerical calculations are required beyond visual comparison of bar heights; the intermediate step was the direct passed-vs-failed comparison for each strategy in each figure.

4) Why A is correct: only the pair “making predictions” and “maintaining focus” satisfy the condition that passed students used them more than failed students in both figures.

5) Why the others are incorrect: option B includes “doing mental translation” which is not used more by passed students in both tests; option C pairs “making predictions” with “doing mental translation,” and the second item fails the required condition.

Conclusion: The correct choice is A. This matches the provided answer: A. ‘Making predictions’ and ‘maintaining focus’.
