If both births and deaths are high but their difference is small, what will the natural increase be like?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Low

Direct answer: B, natural increase will be low. Natural increase is calculated from the difference between births and deaths: natural increase = number of births − number of deaths. The fact that both numbers are high does not by itself make the increase high. For example, if there are 1,000 births and 950 deaths, the natural increase is only 50. The gap is positive but small. Step by step: first compare births with deaths; then subtract deaths from births; finally interpret the size and sign of the result. A is wrong because a high number of births alone is not enough when deaths are also nearly as high. C is wrong because the result is not always negative; it is positive when births exceed deaths, even slightly. D is wrong because the difference can be measured. Memory cue: look at the gap, not merely at the size of each number. A small gap means low natural increase; equal numbers mean zero increase; more deaths than births mean negative increase.
