选项
答案     The table compares spending on three categories—food/drinks/tobacco, clothing/ footwear and leisure/education—in Ireland, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Turkey in 2002, as a percentage of total consumer spending.
    People in Turkey (32.14%) and Ireland (28.91%) spend relatively high amounts on food/drinks/tobacco, whilst consumers in Spain (18.80%), Italy (16.36%) and Sweden (15.77%) spend roughly half that proportion.
    The percentages for spending on clothing/footwear differ to a lesser degree. Consumers in Turkey (6.63%), Spain (6.51%) and Ireland (6.43%) spend around 6.5% of their household expenditure on clothing/footwear. People in Sweden spend a lower proportion (5.40%) and people in Italy spend relatively more (9.00%).
    Spending on leisure/education is relatively low in all five countries, though there are marked differences. People in Turkey spent the highest percentage on this item (4.35%). Those in Sweden and Italy spent almost exactly the same percentages (3.22% and 3.20% respectively). In Ireland, the figure was 2.21% and in Spain it was 1.98%—less than half the figure for Turkey.
    Overall, we can see that spending on food/drinks/tobacco was always greater than spending on clothing/footwear, which in turn was always higher than expenditure on leisure/education.
