In 2007, the labor force participation rate was twice as high for South Dakota as for the United States as a whole.....Cannot Be Concluded
Labor force participation rate in 2007, of:
South Dakota ~ 73.5%
United States ~ 66%
The difference is only 7.5%
More South Dakotans were members of the labor force in 2007 than in 2006.....Cannot Be Concluded
Since the data represents percentages and not the absolute values it cannot be concluded.
For the years 2002 through 2008, South Dakota had a higher labor force participation rate than did the United States......Can Be Concluded
Labor force participation rate from 2002-2008, of:
South Dakota is always greater than 72%
United States is always below 61.5%

Official Explanation
The first conclusion cannot be drawn, as while the relative heights of the bars may look like one is twice as large as the other, the scale at the left-hand side of the graph should show that it is a much more modest difference than double (75% vs. 65%).
The second conclusion cannot be drawn, as given a percentage/rate but no link to actual numbers we cannot draw an inference about actual numbers (suppose the state's population changed dramatically from one year to the next, the slight difference in percentage would be overwhelmed by the dramatic difference in overall number).
The third conclusion, however, is valid, as the graph clearly depicts labor force participation, the specific language of the question.
Answer: Cannot be concluded, Cannot be concluded and Can be concluded
