Choose the answer which best rewords the italicized portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

The population groweach year at a rate of about 2.05 percent.

The population grow
The population grew
The population grows
The population has grown

Explanation

Answer: D - The best choice is “The population has grown each”

The verb “grow” does not agree with the subject “population.” The past tense form “verb” implies that population growth has stopped. Using the present perfect tense - “has grown” - indicates that an event has happened in the past and is not complete. The population grew in the past and continues to grow.
