Answer 2

A fire in a factory delaying production for some weeks is an irregular trend.

• Fire in a factory is not a regular happening. It happens irregularly without our knowledge.
• The secular trend follows a pattern where one object is continuously moving in the same direction. In this case, fire is not a general happening.
• The cyclical trend is something that happens after a specific cycle. For example, Yeats believed in the cyclical trend of the 2000 year civilization.
• The seasonal trend is the trend when something happens in a specific season. For example, in agriculture, there is seasonal employment.

Hence, using the elimination method and also going by the definition of irregular trend, a fire in a factory causing production delays is an irregular trend.
