1. The maximum of the box plot is 19.
   We can eliminate one of the data sets because it does not have a maximum of 19.
   $1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 13, 16, 18, 20$
   The median of the box plot is 12.
   We can eliminate two of the data sets because they do not have a median of 12.
   $1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 13, 16, 18, 19$
   $1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 13, 18, 18, 19$
   
   The following data set could be represented by the box plot.
   $1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 13, 16, 18, 19$
