4-H Consumer Choices
~Placings~

The grid for this situation looks like this:
 

Study the four class items and place an X by the standard that each item meets.  When necessary, put in prices, fat grams or other important numbers to help you decide on the placing of this class.  After looking at these class items your grid should look like this:
 

To find the top placing, look at the grid and compare the items to find the one which meets the top standard or standards.  Continue comparing until one item exceeds the other with one of the standards.  Compare the remaining items and select the one which best meets the top standards. Another method for placing a class may be to select the top two and the bottom two items.  Always remember to consider the standards in order of importance! Just because an item has the most X's does not necessarily mean that it would be the top choice.

Look at the grid for Tanner's choices for pets.  Items #3, and #4 meet the first standard, they are all cuddly pets.  Items #1 and #2 are not a cuddly pet, so that will make them your 3rd or 4th choice.  Comparing #3 and #4, you can see that only #4 meets the second standard, a pet that doesn't need daily care.  That means that #4 would be your first choice and #3 would be your second choice according to these standards.

To determine the 3rd and 4th  choice, compare #1and #2.   #1 does not meet any of the standards, so it would be your last choice. You would place this class of pets 4-3-2-1.
