  • The number of complaints about factories remained approximately the same until the end of the graph.
    We need to use the word "period" instead of "graph". We should describe the changes, but not the picture itself.
  • The roads were probably reconstructed, so road works became less necessary, and the number of complaints about noise decreased steadily.
    We shouldn't include any possible reasons for changes or anything that isn't shown on the graph.
  • Overall, there were fluctuations in complaints about traffic and household noise, with the number increasing by the end of the period.
    Correct
  • The amount of noise complaints about factories climbed from 400 to 600 in the first 2 years.
    "Complaints" is a countable noun, so we can use the word "number", but not "amount".
  • The line for road works was increasing throughout the whole period.
    We should describe the changes, but not the picture itself, so we can't use the word "line". We can use "figure" instead.
  • The number of complaints rose steadily, reaching 600 in 1996.
    Correct
  • In 1996, the quantity of complaints about road works has reached its peak.
    We are describing a finished period of time, so we need to use the past simple: "reached" instead of "has reached".
