What your overview should cover
An answer reaches the higher Task Achievement bands only with a clear overview of the main features, not every number. For this line graph, that means:
- Paper ends highest after fluctuations and the largest overall rise.
- Pulp increases steadily overall, while Timber peaks early and then largely declines.
- All three end above their starting levels and converge near 8 shortly before 2000.
