Answer to Question 1

a
RATIONALE: A trend is usually the result of long-term factors such as population increases or decreases, shifting demographic characteristics of the population, improving technology, changes in the competitive landscape, and/or changes in consumer preferences. Time series may also increase in a nonlinear fashion, meaning the percentage change from one period to the next is relatively constant.

Answer to Question 2

c
RATIONALE: Stacked column and bar charts suffer from the same difficulties as pie charts because the human eye has difficulty perceiving small differences in areas.
