Question

look at the line graph below, showing world grain production from 1950 to 2010. which of the following statements about this graph is accurate? world grain production has increased in every year since 1950. the amount of grain grown between 1980 and 1990 decreased. world grain production has generally increased between 1950 and 2010. more grain was grown in 1980 than in any other year.

Explanation:

• Analyze each statement:
• "World grain production has increased in every year since 1950": The line graph shows fluctuations (e.g., a dip around 2000), so this is false.
• "The amount of grain grown between 1950 and 1980 decreased": The line is rising from 1950 - 1980, so this is false.
• "World grain production has generally increased between 1950 and 2010": The overall trend of the line graph is upward, so this is true.
• "More grain was grown in 1980 than in any other year": The line is higher in 2010 than in 1980, so this is false.

Answer:

World grain production has generally increased between 1950 and 2010.
