I believe Statement 2 could be rephrased as it made me think that the average of the whole year did not fall below 5%.

"Out of the years given, the U.S. unemployment rate fell below 5% only in 2006 and 2007."

This could be phrased as so:
"Out of the years given, in any given month, the U.S. unemployment rate fell below 5% only in 2006 and 2007."

Exactly, else its just not fair as it just seems like they are asking for average. Moreover, this makes us question the line we should draw to use more of our brain.
