Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct conclusion is that the dollar price of a British pound has increased to 2.17 dollars per pound. This is inferred from the context of a graph showing a change in the exchange rate, where an increase in the value indicates that more dollars are needed to purchase one British pound, hence an increase to 2.17 dollars per pound.
