Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is an increase of approximately 22,000 from the previous year. If the number of incidents reported in 2017 was 403,201, and this represents an increase, subtracting the increase from the 2017 total would give the total for the previous year. Without the exact number for the previous year, the closest estimate given the options is 22,000, assuming a straightforward question on numerical increase.
