A.During the 1980’s in Jurania, profits of wholesale distributors of poultry products increased at a greater rate than did profits of wholesale distributors of fish.
Profits have not been discussed .Need not be true.
B.For people who immigrated to Jurania during the 1980’s, fish was less likely to be a major part of their diet than was poultry.
It might look an attractive trap answer . But this need not necessarily be true as the percentage increase needn't be attributed
to the entire migrant population . There is also a possibility that a major part of the percentage increase was due to more consumption by the natives.
C.In 1989 Juranians consumed twice as much poultry as fish.
Only percentage change is given . Deriving actual numbers from percentage is a strech.
D.For a significant proportion of Jurania’s population, both fish and poultry products were a regular part of their diet during the 1980’s.
Needn't be true . The percentage increase might be attributed to a fraction of a population.
E.Per capita consumption of fish in Jurania was lower in 1989 than in 1980.
Since , population increased by 6%
and fish consumption by 4.5 %
This has to be true
Per captia consumption of fish = Total consumption of fish/ Total population
Answer E
