See the answer & why
Lena’s review describes the diagrams as clear.
The judgment belongs to the named reviewer. No study or agreement among all readers is reported.
A little hint: Check the source’s quantities, time limits, uncertainty words, and named speaker before choosing.
A teaching tip
Compare who, how many, when, and how certain. A fluent sentence can still enlarge a source beyond its evidence.
