    The document discusses using adverbs to describe trends shown in line graphs. It provides examples of adverbs that indicate small, steady increases in a population over time like "slowly" and "slightly". Other adverbs like "dramatically" or "considerably" signify large increases. Specific data is given about a population rising from 9.9 million to 10.3 million between 1996 and 2007, with the largest growth between 1996 and 1998.
