4a. The graph that is NOT a good graph to show land use is likely the line graph.

4b. The poor graph (the line graph) is not useful for this data because line graphs usually show change over time, rather than comparing different categories or types of land use at a single point in time. In the case of land use, a pie chart or bar graph would be more effective in representing the distribution of different land uses as it allows for easy comparison of the percentages of each category.
