Answer:

(B)This student performed better than 55% of the other test-takers on the verbal part and better than 48% on the quantitative part

Explanation:

Percentile distribution classifies a population into 100 classes. Usually, the 1st percentile contains the lowest values, while the 99th percentile contains the highest values.

Accordingly, given that the test-taker scored at 55th percentile (verbal) and 48th percentile (quantitative), he would have scored better than 55% of the test-writers (i.e. better than the 1st to 54th percentile) in the verbal test, and better than 48% of the test-writers (i.e. better than the 1st to 47th percentile) in the quantitative test.
