Question 189

A team planning an exhibition about your town's former market asked 200 visitors to the town museum which single feature would most encourage them to spend time at the exhibition. The results are shown below.

Feature chosenNumber of visitors
Objects from the market92
Recorded memories from people who worked there64
Photographs32

The team plans to devote most of the exhibition space to objects because they received the most votes. Write an article for a general-interest magazine in which you discuss whether the survey results justify this plan.

Your work will be assessed on communication and adaptation to audience and purpose (27 marks), and organisation and technical accuracy (18 marks).
