in this one:
option one essentially says
search declining -> property rates declining ------ what if search has declining because property rates are increasing? the reasoning here takes 1 data point and correlates it to another w/o thought
option 2 says
search is increasing -> likely to remain increasing -------- doesn't assume anything about some other data point and essentially extrapolates that the currently exhibited behavior is likely to continue

for this one - statement 1 says 5% decline on the *purchase price*
you likely thought you can plug in the question's given account value with 5% decline and get the answer.
the correct option should be C

dont need to raise since its 5% decline on the purchase price, not compounded decrease. if purchase price is 100 then decline will be 5% = 5 every year, i.e., 5*4 years = decline of 20 in 4 years

but overall, full agree with your take on experts global, while these questions above were okay, I have found their verbal to be extremely weird. I find myself disagreeing with their questions and answers in analysis a lot of times

it's the same thing. i just meant that you don't need to raise to the power, you just need to multiply since the decrease is on the same one amount - kinda like simple interest. you raise to the power when the change is based on every year's new value.

Got it - so if they say it decreases 5% YOY based on last year then its 0.95 --- but since its 0.5% of 1st year purchase prise you need to - this part

project will be considered ahead of pace only if progress made in each 4-month-period is >= 16.67% (100/6 = 16.67%) only in the last 4-month period does the change of percentage increase 16.67%. in all the other ones, if you look at the graph carefully, none have that amount of change
