The question asks you to sum the two countries’ GDPs for each year and determine the year in which the change from the year prior was the least. Rather than determining the GDP for each country for each year and adding and subtracting, glance at the graph and see if any years stand out as having significantly less increase than the others. In 2010, Pluton’s GDP shrank by about $1.5 billion and Shinmark’s grew by $0.5 billion, for a net decrease of about $1 billion. In no other year was there a combined decrease, so 2010 must be the correct answer.
