A:
Answer:The statement  ' the population  of Groverdale is greater than the  population of Tittlehook ' by Alaina is CORRECT. Step-by-step explanation:The population of Groverdale   =  553,000. The population of Tittlehook    =  535,841. Now, the difference in the population of  two sates is = The population of Groverdale    - The population of Tittlehook  = 553,000  - 535,841 = 17, 159⇒The population of Groverdale    - The population of Tittlehook    = 17, 159Now, according to the arithmetic rules:If there area two given terms say A and B . Also, A - B = xThen A > B  if  the difference x  is positive.and  A  <  B  if  the difference x  is negative.Here the difference  of the population  = 17, 159  > 0⇒The population of Groverdale   >  The population of Tittlehook   Hence, the statement  ' the population  of Groverdale is greater than the population of Tittlehook ' by Alaina is CORRECT.
