Select from each drop-down menu the option that creates the most accurate statement based on the information provided.

Official Answer
Dropdown 1: one-third
Dropdown 2: 1.8
Official Solution:
Drop-down 1:
The cost of corn, represented by the red line, was at its highest around the middle of 2011, reaching approximately $7.50 per bushel on the right vertical axis. At the same time, the cost of ethanol, represented by the black line, was approximately $2.50 per gallon on the left vertical axis.
Since \(\frac{2.5}{7.5}=\frac{1}{3}\), the cost per gallon of ethanol was approximately one-third of the cost per bushel of corn.
Drop-down 2:
The highest cost of corn was approximately $7.50 per bushel, while the lowest was approximately $3.00 per bushel, giving a range of approximately $4.50.
The highest cost of gasoline was approximately $3.10 per gallon, while the lowest was approximately $0.60 per gallon, giving a range of approximately $2.50.
Therefore, the range of costs for corn was approximately \(\frac{4.5}{2.5}=1.8\) times the range of costs for gasoline.
Correct answer:
Dropdown 1: "one-third "
Dropdown 2: "1.8 "

General Discussion
The # labels on the y axis for Cost per Bushel (corn) are very skewed, so I miscalculated the numbers. Are they supposed to be in that exact spot? Or are they also skewed? If they are supposed to be like that, in the GMAT when I see a problem where the numbers look off, should I go based off of the gap in the numbers, or the horizontal lines on the graph?
