Official Solution:
Drop-down 1:
To calculate the land area under wheat, we divide wheat production by yield per hectare, since \(\text{land}=\frac{\text{production}}{\text{yield}}\). For 2002, this is approximately \(\frac{2.9}{1.5} \approx 1.9\), and for 2003, it is approximately \(\frac{5.8}{2.4} \approx 2.4\). The increase from 1.9 to 2.4 is about 25%, so the land under wheat in 2003 was approximately 25% more than that in 2002.
Drop-down 2:
Largest percentage drop means the largest proportional decrease from one year to the next, that is, (previous yield - new yield)/(previous yield). The biggest proportional decline occurs between 2005 and 2006, where yield falls from a little over 2 to about 1.2, which is the largest relative drop.
Correct answer:
Dropdown 1: "25% more"
Dropdown 2: "Between 2005 and 2006"
