Answer :
Let's carefully analyze the provided data and compare the water usage for each category step-by-step.
1. Comparison of water used for farming aquatic organisms and industrial production:
- Farming of aquatic organisms: 9,420 million gallons/day
- Industrial production: 15,900 million gallons/day
- Since 9,420 < 15,900, less water was used to farm aquatic organisms than to make products.
2. Comparison of water used for industrial production and electricity production:
- Industrial production: 15,900 million gallons/day
- Electricity production: 161,000 million gallons/day
- Since 15,900 < 161,000, less water was used to make products than to produce electricity.
3. Comparison of water used for electricity production and irrigation:
- Electricity production: 161,000 million gallons/day
- Irrigation (growing crops): 115,000 million gallons/day
- Since 161,000 > 115,000, more water was used to produce electricity than to grow crops.
4. Comparison of water used for irrigation and mining:
- Irrigation (growing crops): 115,000 million gallons/day
- Mining: 5,320 million gallons/day
- Since 115,000 > 5,320, more water was used to grow crops than to mine land resources.
Summarizing the comparisons, we get the following accurate statements:
- Less water was used to farm aquatic organisms than to make products.
- Less water was used to make products than to produce electricity.
- More water was used to produce electricity than to grow crops.
- More water was used to grow crops than to mine land resources.
Therefore, the correct statements based on the given data are:
1. Less water was used to farm aquatic organisms than to make products.
2. Less water was used to make products than to produce electricity.
3. More water was used to produce electricity than to grow crops.
4. More water was used to grow crops than to mine land resources.
