chetan2u For Q1, the fact that it is asking regarding magnitude itself should be an indicator that the answer would be "no" right? Because the CPI for each category cold be baselined differently so comparing the differential changes between successive months cannot indicate the magnitude change.

Requesting a confirmation because most of the discussion revolves around directly comparing values and arriving at False but I wanted to clarify whether my conceptual understanding of the question is correct.

For Prompt 1, Magnitude means absolute size of the change, ignoring whether it’s an increase or decrease.

Example: a change from +0.1 to -0.2 means a magnitude of 0.3. So, -0.7 means a magnitude of 0.7.

Don't confuse it with the absolute value of change. In that case you might assume we need the base amount for finding the magnitude i.e. 0.1% of X. (X = Base)
