Question

9 using source 4, which statement best explains the information found in the graph? select the two correct answers. a increased access to education for women b increase in alcohol and drug use by females c rising female participation in the labor force d lack of healthcare for women in many countries e the extreme decline in marriage rates

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Increased access to education for women is a positive social change that can be reflected in graphs related to women's progress (e.g., education - related graphs).
• Option B: Increase in alcohol and drug use by females is a negative trend and not a typical "information in a graph" about positive social development (assuming the graph is about women's empowerment/progress).
• Option C: Rising female participation in the labor force is a key indicator of women's economic progress and is often represented in graphs (e.g., labor force participation graphs).
• Option D: Lack of healthcare for women in many countries is a negative situation and less likely to be the "best explanation" for a graph (unless the graph is about healthcare disparities, but the other options are more about positive changes or social trends).
• Option E: The extreme decline in marriage rates is a specific social trend, but not as directly related to women's empowerment/development as A and C in most cases.

So the two correct answers are A and C.

Answer:

A. increased access to education for women
C. rising female participation in the labor force
