Answer 1

The answer to the blank space is data.

The contents of the spreadsheet are the annual record of airfares to different cities from Chicago. This is what we call data – which are facts or statistics collected together for reference or analysis. Since Silway Travels plans to use the annual record information to contrast airfares during peak and off-season, it is clear that the data in this case would be used for analysis.
