Question:

When a small annual rate is applied to a very large population, it will lead to which of the following ?

Options:

No population change

Small population change

Moderate population change

Large population change

Correct Answer:

Large population change

Explanation:

The correct answeris option 4: Large population change

When a small annual rate of increase (even if it's a small percentage) is applied to a very large population, the actual increase in the number of individuals can be quite substantial. For example, a growth rate of just 1% on a population of 1 billion people results in an increase of 10 million people. Therefore, even a small rate applied to a large population can lead to significant overall population growth.
