The graph shows the relationship between "food spending and percent of income spent on food". In the left part, it shows the values ​​of "Average annual food spending ($) that go from 0 to 16,000. In the right part, it shows the values ​​of Percent of income spent on food" that go from 0 to 35. In the part below, five "income quintiles" are shown.

The first (lowest) quintile spends about $ 4,000 per year on food, which is 35% of income.

The second quintile spends about $ 6,000 per year on food, which is about 18% of income.

The third quintile spends about $ 7,000 per year on food, which is about 12% of income.

The fourth quintile spends a little less than $ 10,000 per year on food, which is about 10% of income.

The fifth (highest) quintile spends a little less than $ 14,000 per year on food, which is about 7% of income.

According to the above information, the reader can establish that people who have more income spend more on food. However, this represents a lower percentage of their total income. For example, people who spend just under $ 14,000 on food are spending about 7% of their income, while people who spend about $ 4,000 per year on food are spending 35% of their income. According to the above, the correct answer is D. As their incomes rise, people spend more on food, but it represents a smaller portion of their income.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
