If a state has a low growth rate but a very large population base, how can its absolute growth be?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It can still be large

The direct answer is A: absolute growth can still be large. Growth rate is a percentage calculated in relation to the starting population, while absolute growth is the actual number of people added. For example, if a state has 10,000,000 people and grows by only 2%, the increase is 200,000 people. A smaller state with 100,000 people growing by 10% adds only 10,000 people. Therefore, a low rate on a very large base may produce a larger absolute increase than a high rate on a small base. Option B is wrong because a low rate is not the same as zero growth. Option C is wrong because absolute growth can be calculated by subtracting the earlier population from the later population. Option D is wrong because area alone does not determine population increase. Memory cue: “Rate is relative; absolute growth is the actual addition.”
