If birth rate and death rate are both high but the gap between them is small, how can growth be?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Low

The direct answer is A: growth can be low. Natural population growth depends on the difference between the birth rate and the death rate, not simply on whether both rates are high. If both rates are high and nearly equal, the number of births is only slightly greater than the number of deaths, so the natural increase is small. A is correct because a small gap produces low growth. B is wrong because rapid growth requires a large positive gap, such as high births with much lower deaths. C is wrong because population growth is finite and measurable. D is wrong because the difference between the two rates can be calculated. If births and deaths were exactly equal, natural growth would be zero; a small positive gap gives low positive growth. Memory cue: compare the gap, not just the levels.
