Solution:
#### Step 1: Analyze the Images
There are two images to choose from. Let’s evaluate each one based on the information about Mark.
##### Image 1 (Green Border):
-
Skateboard: Present (matches Mark's interest in skateboarding).
-
Tennis Player: Present (Mark cannot play tennis, so this is irrelevant).
-
Dog: Present (Mark likes dogs, which matches his preference).
-
Cat: Present with a cross mark (Mark dislikes cats, so this is correct).
-
Scooter: Present (Mark has a red scooter, which matches his possession).
##### Image 2 (Red Border):
-
Bike Rider: Present (Mark can ride a bike, which matches his skill).
-
Group of Children: Present (Mark has siblings, so this could represent his family).
-
Scooter: Present (Mark has a red scooter, which matches his possession).
-
Dog: Present (Mark likes dogs, which matches his preference).
-
Cat: Present with a check mark (Mark dislikes cats, so this is incorrect).
-
Skateboarder: Present (Mark can skateboard, which matches his skill).
#### Step 2: Compare the Images
-
Image 1:
- Accurately represents Mark's interests (skateboarding, dog, scooter).
- Correctly shows his dislike for cats.
- Includes irrelevant elements (tennis player), but they do not contradict the passage.
-
Image 2:
- Accurately represents Mark's interests (bike riding, dog, scooter).
- Incorrectly shows a positive mark for cats (Mark dislikes cats).
- Includes relevant elements (family, skateboarder), but the cat marking is a mistake.
#### Step 3: Choose the Best Option
Between the two images,
Image 1 is more accurate because it correctly represents all the key points about Mark without any contradictions. The presence of the tennis player does not affect the overall accuracy since it is not mentioned as a hobby or skill of Mark.
