The question is the following:
"The table below indicates the number of points scored by four players in a charity basketball game.
How many points did Daniel HAVE in the 3rd Quarter?"

In the table, there is also a column marked "total" which is the sum of the points from all quarters. The choice of word "have" made me believe that what was sought was the sum of points up to that quarter (there was even some sort of summing going on to form total), not the points scored in that quarter.

My point is, maybe a change of words to "score" is in order.

Thanks!
