Answer 1

The factor most likely to have caused a decline in Grange membership is "wheat prices declined." The Grange, or the Patrons of Husbandry, was an organization that aimed to support farmers and improve their economic conditions. A decline in wheat prices would have negatively impacted farmers' income, leading to dissatisfaction and potentially decreasing membership in the organization.
