Answer 1

The statement that best describes the graph of the relationship between the volume and temperature of an enclosed gas is:

"It is a straight line with a positive slope showing that an increase in temperature results in an increase in volume."

This relationship is described by Charles's Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature (in Kelvin) when pressure is held constant.
