University Physics 1 - Gravitation & Oscillation

I need help with this problem and an explanation of why its the answer described below:

A Simple Pendulum Lab (Image shown below):

What happens to the percent difference between the actual period and the small angle period as the angle increases? Explain why this matches what we expect.
