Answer
A
Graphs, charts, and tables organize large amounts of information in a small space.
B
Maps help readers understand where an event happened and how far away it took place.
C
Diagrams help clarify steps in a procedure and show how systems work.
D
Diagrams ensure that people do not have to read the text to understand a process.
E
Graphics and illustrations help readers visualize, or make pictures in their minds.
Explanation
Graphs, charts, and tables condense information so readers can see and compare it efficiently. Maps show locations and distances, while diagrams can explain a procedure’s steps or how a system works. Graphics and illustrations help readers picture what the text describes. Diagrams support understanding, but they do not ensure readers can understand a process without reading the text, so D is not correct.
