1. State one misleading feature of the graph

A misleading feature is that the pictorial rubbish bins increase in visual size to represent the mass of food waste, rather than using clearly plotted points or bars on a consistent numerical scale.

Answer

The rubbish-bin pictures are of different sizes, so the graph uses enlarged pictures rather than a proper numerical scale to represent the data.

1. Explain the effect on interpretation

Since the rubbish-bin pictures increase in size, the reader may think the mass of food waste has increased by a much larger amount than the actual values shown.

Answer

It makes the increase in food waste look greater or more dramatic than it really is, because the larger bin pictures exaggerate the change in mass.
