1 sudden rise: This is correct. A "surge" is a sudden, sharp increase of something (electricity, popularity, soldiers etc). In the article it states "the second world war saw a surge in union membership", this means that during World War Two the number of workers joining the labor unions suddenly increased.
1 sharp decrease: This is increase. A "sharp decrease" might be called a "plunge", "plummet" or "crash", but not a "surge".
1 gradual emergence: This is incorrect. There is nothing gradual about a "surge".
2 continuing: This is correct. A "steady decline" is a decrease that takes place in a constant and even manner. When the article states that "(the unions") steady decline is not the global trend', it refers to the regular, constant reduction in union power over a long period of time. A "trend" is a prevailing tendency.
2 sharp: This is incorrect. "Steady" is the opposite of "sharp", which in this context describes a sudden or dramatic movement.
2 dramatic: This is incorrect. "Steady" does not mean "dramatic".
3 reach the highest point: This is correct. The verb "to peak" means to "reach the maximum level, highest point or zenith". Similarly, the noun "peak" describes the highest point or top of a mountain or hill. This article states that union membership "peaked during the 1950s". This means that during the 1950s, the number of people who joined a union reached its highest point or maximum level.
3 come to an end: This is incorrect. "To peak" does not mean to come to an end.
3 become well-known: This is incorrect. "To peak" does not mean to become well-known.
