From 1980 to 1989, total consumption of fish in the country of Jurania increased by 4.5 percent, and total consumption of poultry products there increased by 9.0 percent. During the same period, the population of Jurania increased by 6 percent, in part due to immigration to Jurania from other countries in the region.

If the statements above are true, which of the following must also be true on the basis of them?

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.
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.
C. In 1989 Juranians consumed twice as much poultry as fish.
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.
E. Per capita consumption of fish in Jurania was lower in 1989 than in 1980.

Does in part in the stimulus mean 50% ?

"In part" means to some degree, but not completely [= partly]:
e.g. His reluctance to help could, in part, be explained by his poor eyesight.

The correct answer choice is WHAT MUST BE TRUE.

Answer choice E: Per capita consumption of fish in Jurania was lower in 1989 than in 1980.
Let f = total fish consumption in 1980 and t = total population in 1980.
Per capita consumption of fish means the average amount of fish consumed by each person.
In 1980, per capita consumption of fish = f/t.
In 1989, the total fish consumption increases by 4.5% and the total population increases by 6%.
Per capita consumption of fish in 1989 = (1.045f)/(1.06t).
(1.045/1.06)(f/t) < f/t.
1989 < 1980.
Thus, answer choice E is WHAT MUST BE TRUE.

The correct answer is E.

You don't really know who were majorly responsible for increased fish consumption in the increased population. May be that original people of Jurania increased their intake of fish.
Hence this might not be true.

It is a possible explanation, but when we're looking for a conclusion, we're looking for the one answer that is guaranteed to be true.

good question!

The more questions I get wrong, the stronger I become!
Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!
