If an area has low absolute growth but a very high growth rate, what should be checked first?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Whether the initial population was very small

The correct answer is A: check whether the initial population was very small. Absolute growth is the actual number added, while growth rate is the increase compared with the starting population, usually expressed as a percentage. The basic idea is growth rate = increase ÷ initial population × 100. If a population rises from 100 to 110, the absolute increase is only 10, but the growth rate is 10%. A small numerical increase can therefore appear as a high rate when the starting population is small. B is not required because area is not the denominator in the growth-rate formula. C describes density, not growth rate. D cannot be concluded from the information given. Memory cue: before judging a percentage, always identify its base.
