Question

You are writing a report on the two candidates competing to represent your district in the U.S. House of Representatives. You create a pie chart for each candidate to show where the candidate's campaign money comes from. You use purple for small individual donations, orange for large individual donations, blue for corporate donations, yellow for political action committee (PAC) contributions, red for political-party donations, and gray for other money. Which principle of using color effectively have you followed? A. using color to create contrast between the text and the background B. using color to create patterns C. using symbolic meanings of colors D. using color to emphasize particular items

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

While creating a pie chart the principle of using colour to emphasise particular items should be followed.

Explanation:

In this way, the viewer gets information about the different percentages of different things that are related to the topic. Pie charts help in comparing how big or how little related items are. Different colours for each section of a pie chart helps to distinguish one item from another.

Answer 2

D. Using colors to emphasize particular items


When you create a pie chart, it gives the viewer information about the percentages of things that are related to a topic. Using a pie chart shows how big or how little related items are compared to each other. Using different colors for each section of the pie chart distinguishes each item from the other. This makes it is very easy to tell which percentage is the largest and which is the smallest.
