Analyzing Price Level Data
An economist is analyzing the price level changes in a country over four consecutive years. The annual rates of change were as follows:
- Year 1: +3.0%
- Year 2: +1.5%
- Year 3: +0.5%
- Year 4: -0.5%
Identify and explain the specific economic term that best describes the change occurring between Year 1 and Year 3, and the term that best describes the situation in Year 4.

An economy reports the following annual percentage change in its general price level over a three-year period:
- Year 1: +5.0%
- Year 2: +2.0%
- Year 3: -1.0%
Based on this data, which statement accurately describes the economic situation occurring between the end of Year 1 and the end of Year 2?
Analyzing Price Level Data
Match each economic term with the scenario that best describes it, based on changes in a country's general price level.
If a country's annual rate of price increase slows from 4% in one year to 1% in the next year, it means the general level of prices has fallen.
