Explanation:

Question 2

To determine which month had the highest precipitation, we would analyze the graph (not shown here, but typically in such problems, December often has higher precipitation in some regions, or based on common patterns, if the graph shows December with the highest, we select it. Assuming the graph indicates December has the highest precipitation among the options.

• Knowing precipitation helps in knowing when to plant crops (as different crops need specific moisture conditions).
• It helps avoid flood damage (excessive precipitation can cause floods which damage crops).
• It helps maximize crop yields (optimal precipitation timing and amount support better growth). So all these reasons are valid.

Answer:

December (assuming the graph shows December with the highest precipitation among January, October, August, December)
