If SAT questions can't interpret charts correctly, what hope do the rest of us have?

Chart

New SAT Sample questions. Chart and story originally from The Atlantic

See anything wrong with this SAT test question?

There's no correct answer! The question writer seems to want C to be the correct answer but that's a sloppy, too fast and imprecise interpretation of the chart.

"Automobile commuter" is not the same thing as "commuter". And "in 2011" is not the same thing as annually.

This kind of sloppiness is endemic to public misunderstanding of data. Let's hope they'll be more careful with the real questions.
