There are several problems with the summary overview and trending statement. The summary overview does not give a precise acknowlegement of the type if image used. As there are several types of graphs used in this test, the exam taker is expected to precisely identify the type of graph use. Another problem, is that the enumerated listing is incomplete. It is always best to simply list the information for discussion rather than trying to create a trending statement using the references. Notice that you said there are 6 reference points, but you only enumerated 5. This will leave the reader confused and wondering why there are only 5 out of 6 references listed. The summary overview must always provide precise information since this is the part of the essay that gives the reader a mental picture of the upcoming report analysis.
