If population growth rate falls in a decade, which conclusion should not be drawn immediately?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Total population has definitely decreased

Direct answer: B. A lower growth rate means that population is increasing more slowly, or that its change relative to the base population has become smaller. It does not automatically mean that the total population has fallen. For example, a population may grow by 2% in one period and 1% in the next; it is still growing in both periods, but more slowly in the second. A is a reasonable conclusion because the pace has reduced. C recognises that the rate, or proportion of change, has changed. D is important because rates must be compared with an earlier period and a clear base. B is wrong because a declining rate and a declining population are different ideas. Memory cue: falling growth rate is not the same as falling population.
