What problem can occur if only the percentage rate is seen while assessing population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The actual increase in absolute number may be hidden

The direct answer is A: the actual increase in absolute numbers may be hidden. A percentage rate tells us how large a change is in relation to the starting population, while absolute growth tells us the actual number of people added or lost. For example, a small percentage increase in a very large population can represent millions of additional people. Conversely, a higher percentage in a small population may represent a smaller numerical increase. Therefore, planners should examine both the rate and the absolute number before arranging housing, schools, hospitals, water, and employment. A is correct because relying only on a percentage can hide the real size of the change. B is wrong because a percentage does not automatically cause decline. C is wrong because the definition of migration does not change with a growth rate. D is wrong because population statistics do not make the physical area disappear. Memory cue: rate shows proportion; absolute growth shows actual people.
