Passage: “Membership rose from 400 to 460.” Which reading of the figure is accurate?
A. Membership increased by 60 percent.
B. Membership fell by 60 people.
C. Membership is now 400.
D. Membership increased by 60 people.✓ 答案
解說
from 400 to 460 係人數由 400 變到 460，增加 60 人，唔係增加 60%。百分比題最常見係把「相差」誤當「百分比」。現時人數係 460，唔係 400。
