A. In 1900, Zeneru’s population was considerably smaller than it was in 2000.
B. In 1900, more Zeneru residents engaged in manual labor than in 2000.
C. Many of the people who built up a considerable net worth in 2000 were only able to do so thanks to advanced technology that was unimaginable in 1900.
D. The proportion of households with a net worth below $10,000 was significantly smaller in 2000 than was the proportion of households with a net worth above $10,000.
E. Most of the gains in average net worth between 1900 and 2000 came from large numbers of Zeneru citizens who had moved out of the lowest levels of poverty.
