Question

Explanation:

1. Analyze Option 1: The graph only shows US nonfarm employment, not global economy comparisons. So this is incorrect.
2. Analyze Option 2: The graph is about US employment, not a general rule for all countries. This is irrelevant.
3. Analyze Option 3: In 2012, employment was still below 2008 levels, so economic problems weren't solved. Incorrect.
4. Analyze Option 4: The graph shows a drop in employed workers starting in 2008 (consistent with the 2008 financial crisis), then a slow recovery. This matches the description of an economic crisis starting in 2008.

Answer:

The United States faced an economic crisis that started in 2008.
