Question

Aircraft Production
Study the two bar graphs. Based on these graphs, which of the following statements are correct? Check all of the boxes that apply.

The United States always built the most aircraft.

Germany built fewer aircraft in 1944 than it had in 1939.

Japan built more aircraft than the United States in 1939.

All three countries increased the number of aircraft they built between 1939 and 1944.

Answer 1

Select only: "Japan built more aircraft than the United States in 1939."

Reasoning:
- The U.S. did not always build the most — in 1939 its bar is lower than at least one other country's.
- Germany did not build fewer aircraft in 1944 than in 1939 — its 1944 bar is higher.
- Japan did build more than the U.S. in 1939 — its 1939 bar is higher than the U.S. bar.
- Not all three increased from 1939 to 1944 (Japan’s production decreased).
