    Hello all, thank you for your comments! delighted to see involvement and interest. I see your point here, I guess it means over the years Hydraulics parts have risen though I agree there was a drop in 2017. Can seem quite a subjective interpretation of the graph. Thank you again for your comments and hope you are enjoying the new tips.

      Interesting point! I think the fact that the present perfect tense is used here (…have risen steadily) is of significance thus speaking of a change over time (2015-2018)

    Hi,
    why is the answer in question one “true”? From my perspective it goes up, then down, then up again … so it is not like “risen steadily”.

    The correct answer for Question 1 “Hydraulics parts have risen steadily” – is FALSE. Because it dropped in 2017.

    Statement #1 is False, NOT True. Hydraulics parts did not rise steadily, in 2017 they were lower than in 2016.
