The writer has over compressed the summary information. The lengthy, mixed ideas presentation has caused a run-on sentence error. For this test, one idea /subject per sentence will bring clarity and a simple to follow discussion to the reader. The same cannot be said for the current GRA score reducing presentation. A complete paragraph needs at least 3 sentences in the summary. Additionally, the trending statement should be integrated into the summary presentation. The 3 paragraph essay is comprised of :

Paragraph 1: Summary + trending statement
Paragraph 2: Initial Image analysis
Paragraph 3: Final image analysis

The report is incompletely developed. It does not have the proper format and is not evaluated in the expected manner.

I suggest you could try grouping the data not by their trend but by a specific year, such as analyze the three trends before 2030 for the first paragraph and after 2030 there shows a dramatic change. maybe describe the change in the next paragraph.
