Overall assessment

The response is a well-organised report that accurately covers all three visuals, with a clear overview and precise data selection. Its main limitation is a fairly mechanical treatment of the bar chart in later years, where some trends are described somewhat loosely rather than with fully specific comparisons.

TA

The response covers all three visuals with an accurate overview of the dominant age group, leading borrowing categories, and the rising loan trend, and the reported figures match the prompt, though the bar chart treatment after 2011 is somewhat general.
