OG4 阅读 Q20

Choice A is the best answer. Chart 2 shows that the growth of all metro-politan areas in the 1990s was higher than the growth in all metropolitan areas in the 2000s: large metro areas experienced a growth of 14.3% in the 1990s versus a growth of 10.9% in the 2000s, small metro areas experienced a growth of 13.1% in the 1990s versus a growth of 10.3% in the 2000s, and non-metro areas experienced a growth of 9.0% in the 1990s versus a growth of 4.5% in the 2000s.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately character-ize the US growth rate by metro size from 2000-2010 as illustrated in chart 2.
