In which situation can absolute increase be low despite a high growth rate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the base population is very small

Direct answer: A. Absolute increase depends on both the growth rate and the base population. A high percentage applied to a very small starting population may add only a small number of people. For example, 20% of 100 is 20, whereas 5% of 10,000 is 500. Therefore, the first area has a higher rate but a lower absolute increase. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because a large base usually makes the numerical increase larger at a given positive rate. Option C is not necessarily correct; a longer period may allow more total increase, depending on the rate and conditions. Option D is wrong because people entering the area would generally raise the population and may increase the absolute change. Memory cue: percentage describes relative change; absolute increase depends strongly on the starting number.
