1st Semester Revision Test – English 11 PART A: MULTIPLE CHOICE (7 MARKS) Read the passage and choose the best word for each question Population Growth Rates The rate of national growth is expressed as a percentage for each country, commonly between about 0.1% and 3% annually You'll find two percentages associated with population - natural growth and overall growth Natural growth represents the births and deaths in a country's population and does not take into account migration The overall growth rate takes migration into account For example, Canada's natural growth rate is 0.3% while its overall growth rate is 0.9%, due to Canada's open immigration policies In the U.S., the natural growth rate is 0.6% and overall growth is 0.9% The growth rate of a country provides demographers and geographers with a good contemporary variable for current growth and for comparison between countries or regions For most purposes, the overall growth rate is the more frequently utilized The growth rate can be used to determine a country or region or even the planet's "doubling time," which tells us how long it will take for a country's current population to double This length of time is determined by dividing the growth rate into 70 The number 70 comes from the natural log of 2, which is 70.Given Canada's overall growth of 0.9% in the year 2006, we divide 70 by (from the 0.9%) and yield a value of 77.7 years Thus, in 2083, if the current rate of growth remains constant, Canada's population will double from its current 33 million to 66 million Question 1: How many percentage is the rate of national growth expressed for each country?
